.17 caliber?
A trial, and a not guilty verdict,,,, and the facts are hard to come by?
Yep. Leaving without reporting would seem to be a bad move if it was self defense.

Before the adoption of the 5.56MM rifle ammo, the BRITISH wanted a .17 caliber centerfire combat rifle.
Yep not much on the net about this trial.
After the trial, the Smith family quickly exited the courtroom and did not want
to comment. But the Howard County District Attorney, Hardy Wilkerson, made a brief
statement on behalf of the verdict.
“We were grateful to have the opportunity to try the case, we felt it was fully tried and both sides had their say so. Obviously, there’s so
me disappointment with the verdict, but if 12 folks in Howard County feel that
this was self-defense, we’re not going to quivel with their verdict,” Wilkerson said.
What does the caliber of the rifle matter, other than the fact that most folks have never heard of it. There are actually several different .17 caliber rounds.
