FL: Black woman not guilty of attempted murder in bottle-club shooting: "Benita Green, a woman accused of attempted first-degree murder, was found not guilty by a six-member jury in Viera today after less than an hour of deliberations. During closing statements, defense attorney Jonathan Bull told the jury that his client acted in self-defense when she pulled a gun and shot at Shaunda Green in the parking lot of the Producers Bottle Club In Melbourne in March 2010. Shaunda Green survived and testified against Benita Green this week. Bull said his client was intimidated, harassed and beaten by Shaunda Green and her friends for months before the incident. “It was a season of fear,” Bull said, and added that Benita Green acted in self-defense. “The use of deadly force was justified.” Benita Green was also found not-guilty of an aggravated battery charge. Minutes later Judge Robert Burger told the defendant she was free to go."
