“The first responders arrived on scene fast and found Stevens breathing but unresponsive,” Kidd said. “He was taken by ambulance to Coastal Carolina Hospital, where he passed away.”

Kidd said the jury deliberated for an hour and 45 minutes and there had been 21 witnesses, with the defense not calling any witnesses to the stand.

“We challenged the voluntariness (of Dunham admitting he had shot Stevens) based on the fact that the defendant had been basically handcuffed to a wall for six hours, sleep deprived and tired when the interview happened,” Dunham’s attorney Jeffrey Stephens said. “The interview happened around 4 to 5:30 in the morning.”

Stephens said the judge found Dunham’s confession was knowingly and voluntarily made.

I still don't understand how the jury could have reached a not guilty verdict.

And they reached it in a matter of two hours I believe. The Defense must really have done a good job or else the prosecution screwed their case up beyond all belief.
