Delivery Driver Acquitted of Shooting YouTube Prankster in Landmark Jury Decision
A delivery driver has been acquitted of aggravated malicious wounding in the shooting of a YouTube prankster who followed him around a mall food court. The jury was divided on two lesser firearms counts, convicting him on one and acquitting him on the other. The shooting, which occurred in April, caused panic among shoppers who feared a mass shooting. The defense argued that the driver acted in self-defense, feeling menaced by the prankster's behavior. The defense attorney has requested the judge to set aside the conviction on the firearms charge. The YouTube prankster continues to make videos, earning thousands of dollars per month.
