Nearly a year after a brawl off-campus landed former Washington State defensive lineman Robert Barber in hot water with the school and eventually the law, a jury returns their verdict. The Daily Evergreen reports a Whitman County jury found Barber not guilty on a second-degree assault charge in court today. The jury also had the option of finding him guilty of fourth degree assault, a count they also found Barber not guilty of.
Prosecutors decided in February to charge Barber with second-degree assault, nearly seven months after the alleged incident took place at an off-campus party.
