Description: Potsdam, NY - Defendant Found Not Guilty On Murder Charge
The State of New York charged Oral Nicholas Hillary with second-degree murder for killing 12-year-old Garrett Phillips in 2011.
The State alleged that Hillary strangled the boy to death in a fit of rage at the boy's mother for breaking off her relationship with him but was unable to produce any direct evidence that the Defendant killed the boy.
This case was tried before Judge Catena who refused to allow the admission of some DNA evidence pro-offered by the State.
