Carmen Found Innocent of Slaying Christie Mullins
A Franklin County jury acquitted Jack Allen Carmen of Columbus on murder charges in the 1975 killing of 14 year old Christie Lynn Mullins. The defense argued the postcrime confession was unreliable while Carmen had pleaded guilty earlier and served time awaiting release to a VOA program. The case had spurred appeals and a $2 million civil suit by the slain girl's father against Carmen and others.
