Two young men, C.D. and J.W., were acquitted of first-degree murder in the 2007 shooting death of Toronto teenager Jordan Manners. The jury delivered its verdict after less than 12 hours of deliberations in the second trial of the two accused. The case rested on a statement to police by a teenage girl who offered conflicting stories at the two trials. The prosecution's case was weakened by the girl's retraction of her original statement and the lack of physical evidence against the accused. The defendants were 17 at the time of the shooting and cannot be identified due to their age.
