DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - A Scott County jury has acquitted a man accused in the shooting death of another man in the parking lot of a restaurant in Davenport. The jury on Monday found Alfred Brown, of Davenport, not guiltyof first-degree murder in the slaying of Hano Bailey in May 2008. Prosecutors claimed Brown drove another man, Oliver Litt Jr., to an IHOP restaurant, where Litt shot Bailey.
The defense argued Litt forced Brown to drive him to and from the restaurant. In a separate trial, a Scott County jury convicted Litt of first-degree murder last week. He faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole. Sentencing is set for April 2.
