Mario Nicholas Karageorgis aquitted of murder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Mario Nicholas Karageorgis, 27, was accused of murdering Bradley Hawkesworth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 26,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the aggravated assault of his father Colin Hawkesworth.
The jury,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which had been deliberating since Friday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], found Karageorgis not guilty of murder, the lesser charge of manslaughter and aggravated assault.
The jury had heard the victim died after Karageorgis stabbed him with a curtain rod which went through his eye and penetrated his brain in December 2008.
As the verdict was read out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one woman in the gallery said "thank you" to the jury, while a man yelled "shame on you" at Mr Karageorgis.
The court previously heard Mr Karageorgis had gone to the defence of his wife after seeing her surrounded by a group of men on the street, one of whom was armed with a knife.
In his closing address to the jury,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], David Stokes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for Mr Karageorgis asked they each put themselves in Mr Karageorgis' shoes.
"This is quick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], people don't have time for intellectual reflection,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I suggest this man did in the spur of the moment, what he thought was the right thing to do," Mr Stokes said.
"What you see is three men and your wife . . ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. there is shouting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. There is yelling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Your wife is screaming. There is some sort of conflict going on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
He said Mr Karageorgis did not intend seriously harming or killing anyone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Would it not be within the realms of nature for some men, not all men . . . that some men would grab the nearest weapon they could to go in the defence of their partner?" he asked the jury.
