A Georgia man has been acquitted of murder after sheriff’s deputies killed his cousin during a controversial drug raid at his home — but will spend the rest of his life behind bars for drug possession and shooting at law enforcement during the incident.
A jury in Cadem County found Varshan Brown, 49, not guilty on charges of murder in connection with the death of his 37-year-old cousin Latoya James. The verdict on Thursday comes more than two years after James was killed during a shootout between Brown and sheriff deputies at his home in Woodbine.
