Jimmy Melvin Jr. has been found not guilty of the 2009 murder of Terry Marriott Jr. after a four-week trial in Nova Scotia Supreme Court. Pat MacEwen, the lawyer for Jimmy Melvin Jr., speaks to reporters Friday following the verdict. He was led away by sheriffs and remains in custody as he is also charged with attempting to murder Marriott in late 2008. The Crown called several witnesses during Melvin's first-degree murder trial. MacPhee implicated Melvin in the murder in 2015 after being charged in a violent home invasion in which he faced more time in prison.
