BALSAM LAKE, Wis. (AP) — A defense attorney for a young Minnesota man acquitted in the fatal stabbing of a Wisconsin fisherman says his client was in “disbelief” when the verdicts were read. A jury in Polk County on Monday found 20-year-old Levi Acre-Kendall not guilty of second-degree intentional homicide and first- and second-degree reckless homicide in the death of 34-year-old Peter Kelly of St. Croix Falls. He was fatally stabbed during a confrontation with Acre-Kendall and his three friends last April. One of Acre-Kendall’s attorneys, Eric Nelson, says the jurors had deadlocked Saturday evening on the lesser count, second-degree reckless homicide. Nelson says that prompted both sides to re-enter plea negotiations, but that his client did not want to plead guilty. Prosecutor Dan Steffen says he was “disappointed” with the verdicts.
