Teacher Acquitted Of Verbal Threat
KENTUCKY...
A jury has acquitted a former eastern Kentucky teacher charged with making a threat to kill people. The jury deliberated only 10 minutes before reaching the decision.
Former Knox Central High School teacher Jason Davis was charged with second-degree terroristic threatening after remarking in his classroom that he'd like to relieve stress by killing about 500 people.
Davis and his attorney, David Hoskins, said the comment was referring to a video game. Davis told the newspaper that some students overheard his remark and didn't know the context.
Hoskins says his client should not have been charged.
