Jury acquits Maryland man who shot and killed transgender woman Meghan Riley Lewis
Briefly

During the trial, prosecutors argued that Brian Delen did not engage in any significant dispute before fatally shooting Meghan Riley Lewis, describing the event as him leaning out of his car and shooting her. Witness testimonies indicated that the shooting occurred without provocation, contradicting Delen's claim of self-defense.
Harford County State Attorney Alison Healey expressed disappointment in the jury's decision, stating, 'This is not the outcome for which we were hoping. We stand by our arguments to the jury that the incident was entirely unjustified and tragic.' This reflects the prosecution's belief in the severity of the crime and the societal implications of such acts of violence.
