Garden City Man Found Not Guilty
After nearly 12 hours of deliberation a jury found a Horry County man not guilty of murder.
Police say 76-year-old Henry Bramlett shot his neighbor, Robert Tomlinson, more than a dozen times after a property line dispute.
But prosecutors say the evidence solicited to the character of the victim showed he wasn’t a good neighbor in the minds of jurors.
Defense attorney Morgan Martin told the jury his client acted in self-defense.
The shooting happened in August of 2005 off Stanley Drive in Garden City. Bramlett was facing life in prison with no chance at parole. Today he is a free man.
