BRISBANE, Australia — A man charged in the death of a New Zealand tourist who plummeted from his apartment balcony after the two began arguing during a date was found not guilty of murder on Thursday. Cash alleged that Tostee became angry after Wright threw ornamental rocks at him and hit him with a telescope. The prosecutor also said that Tostee choked and restrained her before locking her out of his apartment on the balcony. “You’re lucky I haven’t chucked you off my balcony,” Tostee is heard saying in the recording. Outside court, another lawyer representing Tostee said his client was grateful for the verdict.
