NC: Edward Neeley, Jr. Found not Guilty by Jury in Killing of Ronald Lee Barham

“He was acting in self-defense,” Goldsborough said after the verdict. “He was actually a victim of an attack.”

The shooting occurred shortly after Neely arrived at the apartment at 3203 Orange St. on Feb. 8, 2018, Goldsborough said.

People at the apartment had been drinking and doing drugs, Goldsborough said, and a fight broke out. Barham and another man, Curtis Allison Jr., approached Neely and “Ed had to use his firearm,” Goldsborough said. His client was not drinking or doing drugs at the time, he added.
