Decatur man acquitted of capital murder in fatal 2017 double shooting
A north Alabama jury acquitted a Decatur man Wednesday of capital murder in the 2017 shooting deaths of two men.
Kevin Deloney Jr., 27, of Moulton, was found not guilty in the Lawrence County slayings of Lawrence Jimmy Lee Bolding and James Lemark Madden, WAAY reported.
Deloney’s acquittal was not yet in Lawrence County court records as of early Wednesday evening.
Bolding, 34, of North Courtland, and Madden, 41, of Muscle Shoals, were shot to death in North Courtland in July 2017.
Their bodies were found on Bolding’s property on Rosa Parks Street around midnight July 7, 2017. Bolding’s body was in the front yard, and Madden was found inside a trailer on the property, Lawrence County Sheriff Gene Mitchell said at the time.
Also charged in the case was Tamorris Oneil Bolding.
His case was dismissed in October 2017 by a Lawrence County District Court Judge Angela D. Terry after she determined there was not probable cause to prosecute Bolding.
Since his arrest, Deloney filed multiple motions to dismiss his case, arguing that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was violated.
