Jamaul Herman of ChattanoogaJurors who found Jamaul Herman not guilty of murder on Wednesday told a prosecutor there was not enough evidence to convince them he pulled the trigger on Jerome Timmons on July 4, 2010.
Juror Evan Bissonette said after the six-day trial that a key to his doubt was the change in eyewitness testimony from the time of the crime to the trial.
“If you don’t know then, it’s hard to believe that a year and a half later all of the sudden you know exactly who it is,” he said.
Bissonette spoke briefly with a Chattanooga Times Free Press reporter after he and seven other jurors talked with prosecutor Bret Alexander outside the courtroom late Wednesday afternoon.
A female juror who asked not to be identified said she was uncertain throughout the trial whether Herman was the shooter.
