Florida man Not Guilty In October Jeep Shooting: "A jury ruled Monday that a Westgate man who shot into a Jeep, killing two men and injuring another, was acting in self-defense. After a six-day trial, the jury found Norman Borden not guilty of charges that included two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder and one count of shooting into an occupied vehicle. Borden shot at three men who were in the Jeep in October 2006. The shooting happened after the group confronted Borden as he walked his dogs. Christopher Araujo and Saul Trejo were killed in the shooting. The third passenger, Juan Mendez, was injured. Borden's defense argued he fired the shots because he feared for his life. Borden claims the three men had tried to run him over in the Jeep. But the prosecution said though Borden's first shots were in self-defense, he committed murder when he stepped in front of the Jeep and fired more rounds at the vehicle."
