Last year, an investigator for Uintah County prosecutors was accused of breaking the law when he chit-chatted with potential jurors in a high-profile case.
Jayson Chamberlain was charged with a felony, for attempting to tamper with jurors, that could have put him behind bars for up to five years.
"I think Jayson Chamberlain shouldn't have been charged in this case," defense attorney Edward Brass said Wednesday. "I'm delighted with the outcome. He's a very good person, a very kind man, who is looking forward to going back to work."
Brass said jurors told him after they reached their verdict that it only took them about two minutes to make the decision.
