Wood County Man Found Not Guilty of Murder
On February 6, 2009, a Wood County, Texas jury acquitted Holmes & Moore client William Kear of murder. After a full week of trial, the jury deliberated for four hours before returning the not guilty verdict. Mr. Kear, who was on his tractor with a bale of hay on the back, shot and killed an adjacent landowner after the deceased rammed Mr. Kear's tractor with his own tractor equipped with a front-end loader. This was a retrial after Mr. Kear's first trial, which ended in a hung jury in Spring 2008.
