Man acquitted in dog park shooting | Cincinnati - WLWT Home
Just as it should be.
Robert Marx, 74, was charged with criminal damaging, endangering and discharging a firearm in city limits after witnesses said he shot a dog that attacked his own at Doris Day Dog Park.
Marx testified that he was unable to pull the animal apart, and he said a stun gun didn't stop the attack, so he fired the handgun he was legally permitted to carry.
Judge Bernie Bouchard acquitted Marx on Monday, saying the shooting was justified.
"To see him testify to watch his demeanor, I think Judge Bouchard got a good idea of what he was about, and he's not a man who's going to go shooting off a gun if he doesn't have a valid reason to do it," said defense attorney Mike Allen.
Allen said he will file paperwork to have Marx's concealed carry permit returned to him.
