Sperr acquitted of aiding and abetting charges

Shane Sperr was charged with aiding two uncles in the kidnapping of their 25 year old nephew and allegedly beating him unconscious over a period of hours. A 12 person jury acquitted Sperr on four counts connected to the "uncle kidnapping." The jury only deliberated for a few hours after a three day trial. Sperr was not found guilty in the aiding and abetting in the assault and false imprisonment of a young man; who originally told authorities he was the victim of a trap set to do him harm. When it came time for Shawn Dougherty to testify he told the jury he lied about the whole thing.

    • When using two words or more to modify another noun, use hyphens: 25-year-old, 12-person, three-day
    • Misuse of a semicolon
