LAURENS COUNTY, S.C. —Three years after Juan Burns, a self-proclaimed neighborhood watch leader, fatally shot his neighbor, a Laurens County jury acquitted him of murder.
Burns' murder trial ended Friday with a not guilty verdict.
“We were very pleased,” Jim Bannister, Burns' attorney, told WYFF. “It was a long time coming, but that's the way the system works.”
