Morning Eagle @ 8/24/2011 8:46 AM The CS-T story says the jury acquitted Selvie on the more serious charge of attempted murder. One has to wonder on what grounds they decided that shooting a man in the back like this was without the intent to kill. Hopefully 60 years really means 60 years but it probably doesn't.
