Jury finds James Colby Jr not guilty on all counts of alleged attempted rape and child molestation

James Colby Jr was acquitted of all charges against him a minute ago by a jury consisting of three women and eight men. The case went to the jury on Friday at lunchtime. They came back this morning and in less than three hours, picked a foreman, and came back with a verdict.

Once the verdict was final, Colby turned to his attorney Mr. Kaleb Cockrum and wiped away tears.

James Colby's sister was present in the courtroom sobbed as each not guilty verdict was read. She spoke with me outside the courtroom and said she thanked the jury."I have been praying since all this started," she said.

She called their mom after the verdict saying, " he is free."
