A jury acquitted Raymond Cormier, 56, of the second-degree murder of Tina Fontaine after 11 hours of deliberation. There was no DNA evidence linking Cormier to the teen and doctors who were called to testify said they could not definitively say how Tina died. The jury heard Cormier gave the couple a place to stay, gave Tina drugs and had sex with her. Witnesses remember Tina and Cormier fighting in the street over a stolen truck and Tina accusing him of selling her bike for drugs. “The people in this country need to know Tina was loved by everybody,” he said.
