The jury deliberated for about three hours Wednesday before acquitting Barajas of murder.
The jury is now deliberating in the trial of a father accused of fatally shooting a drunken driver who killed his two young sons in a crash. Legal experts said the case will be difficult to prosecute given the lack of hard evidence, and overcoming sympathy in the community for the father.
