Jury Acquits Charleston Teen

• {Charleston, West Virginia}...James Daughtery, 17, of Charleston, walked out of the Kanawha County Judicial Annex a free man Friday afternoon after a 12-member jury acquitted him of murder in the February 2010 shooting deaths of Bruce Duling and Carrie Pontier whose bodies were found in a parked car in Kanawha City. Prosecutors alleged Daughtery had killed them to earn his stripes as a drug dealer. Daughtery's attorney told the jury the prosecution had no physical evidence linking his client to the crime, and the state's key witness, Artez "Ace" Johnson, lied to detectives during the investigation.
