| A Ward County jury says "not guilty" in the case of a Minot man who paralyzed another man in a shooting. The jury deliberated for about three hours on Wednesday in the case of 65 year-old Robert Hurt of Minot. Hurt shot 37 year-old Michael Moran after an early morning argument outside of Hurt`s northwest Minot home on December 16th, 2006. Three bullets hit Moran, and he ended up paralyzed from the waist down. Hurt`s attorney argued that it was self defense, that his client feared for his life and he was trying to protect his two sons, who were home at the time. State`s Attorney and Prosecutor John Van Grinsven says Hurt had plenty of time to call police before shooting Moran but the jury thought otherwise. Hurt was facing an aggravated assault charge, a Class B felony. |
