Man Acquitted of Fatal Lincoln Stabbing

gavel-moreLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 48-year-old man has been found not guilty in the stabbing death of a friend in a Lincoln apartment.

A Lancaster County District Court jury on Monday acquitted Ivan Fourhorns of second-degree murder and a weapons charge. He was accused of fatally stabbing 58-year-old Joe Solomon on July 23 last year.

Police had said Solomon and Fourhorns got into an argument after drinking alcohol with others at the apartment. Fourhorns testified that he wasn’t in the room when someone stabbed Solomon in the chest.
