NEW BOSTON, Texas — A Bowie County jury acquitted a Texarkana man of murder Friday in a case the defense argued was self-defense under the Texas "castle doctrine."
Kavante Lamarr Wright, 27, was also acquitted on a lesser charge of manslaughter. In his closing remarks, Texarkana lawyer Shorty Barrett argued that under Texas law, Wright had a right to shoot and kill Eric Gentry if he believed his life was in danger in his own home.
