Mrs Boulden Acquitted Of Murder After Short Deliberation
An all male jury acquitted Mrs Bobbie S Boulden of second degree murder in the April killing of her husband Raymond Boulden after less than 15 minutes of deliberation. The defense argued self defense as the shooting ended a lengthy argument during which she took three weapons. Cedric Boulden testified he heard the dispute and his father say it would be him or his mother. In a separate note, charges against Thomas Walls for assaulting a state trooper were dropped for lack of evidence.
