The longest trial in Georgia's history concluded on Tuesday morning with a Fulton County jury acquitting Shannon Stillwell and Deamonte Kendrick of murder, gang, and racketeering charges. Kendrick, known as Yak Gotti, was acquitted of all charges, while Stillwell was convicted of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and sentenced to 10 years, with credit for time served. The trial, which lasted over a year, involved extensive evidence presentation and was marked by a change in judges that defense attorneys credited with ensuring a fair trial.
