The jury deliberations took less than two hours, according to the Joplin Globe.
E. F. Fitchpatrick, 45, testified that he shot Nolan Murray, who was executing a search warrant, at the Econo Lodge on Range Line, thinking the deputy was coming to rob him.
During his opening statement, Fitchpatrick's attorney, Bill Fleischaker, said his client believed the Joplin Honkies were coming to take his drugs and cash.
