Jurors Wednesday in Angleton returned a not guilty verdict in the murder trial of David Barajas, Sr., who was charged in the shooting death of a suspected drunken driver whose car struck and killed Barajas’ two young sons.
Barajas cried when the verdict was read Wednesday.
He could have been sentenced to as much as life in prison had he been convicted.
Prosecutors alleged that Barajas killed Jose Banda, 20, in a fit of rage after Banda’s car plowed into Barajas and his sons while they were pushing a broken down pickup on a road near their hometown of Alvin.
The two boys, David, Jr., 12, and Caleb, 11, were killed.
