Self-Defense Plea Stands Up In Second Trial
In Blountville a teenage defendant Horton was found not guilty of murder in the slaying of Dewey Hobby after a three hour jury deliberation. The defense argued self defense as Horton claimed Hobbs attacked him with a blackjack and Horton shot as he fled. Prosecution contended the shooting was not in self defense. The verdict follows a prior deadlocked trial and notes a divorce filed earlier in Kingsport.
