A jury found former Sonoma County Sheriff’s Deputy Charles Blount not guilty of all charges related to his role in the death of David Ward after he was caught on video beating him during a stolen car mix-up more than two years ago.
Blount's attorney, Harry Stern, issued a statement thanking jurors "for their patience and hard work. Charlie is relieved and grateful. I would also like to reiterate our condolences to Mr. Ward’s family and friends."
and that his injuries were caused by blunt impacts, electrical shock from a stun gun and a now-banned neck hold Blount had used, the Press Democrat reported. Defense attorneys also stressed that Blount actions were reasonable and lawful given his belief he was responding to a traffic stop where the motorist was suspected to be an armed carjacker.
