Jury takes 90 minutes to reach verdict

Kenneth Hart The Independent The Daily Independent Wed Aug 01, 2012, 03:37 PM EDT

CATLETTSBURG — A Boyd Circuit Court jury on Wednesday acquitted Brian "Trinity" Brewster in the April 30, 2011, death of a 15-month-old girl.

Jurors deliberated about 90 minutes before finding Brewster not guilty of first-degree manslaughter in the abuse death of Cally Erica Jobe.

The verdict capped a three-day trial in Judge C. David Hagerman's court.

Cally's mother, Lakyn Jobe, who testified as a prosecution witness in Brewster's trial, is charged with first-degre criminal abuse in her daughter's death and is scheduled to stand trial in late September.

See Thursday's edition for more details.
