DETROIT – A jury has found a man not guilty of armed robbery and assault with intent to murder in the shooting of a federal judge outside a home in Detroit's University District.
Kevin Smith, 23, was charged with shooting Judge Terrence Berg outside Berg's home on Oak Drive in March 2015.
Berg testified that Smith asked to be let into the home, but when he refused to let Smith and another man in, Smith shot him in the right leg. Berg recovered from the gunshot wound.
On Tuesday, the jury found him not guilty of the armed robbery and assault with intent to murder charges, but guilty of conspiracy to commit armed robbery and two felony firearms charges.
