Pfc. Raymond Russell Burrows III Acquitted in Robbery Case

Sep-24-2009 » Filed Under: 4/2 SBCT

The Seattle Times has a follow up to a story we linked to last year regarding three 4/2 SBCT soldiers accused of robbery. Burrows also left a comment on our previous entry in response to the story.

The third of three Fort Lewis soldiers accused in a string of robberies in Seattle's University District has been acquitted on all charges.

A Seattle jury acquitted Pfc. Raymond Russell Burrows III on Friday, freeing the 22-year-old Rhode Island man after seven months in King County Jail. Now cleared, Burrows said he'll be deploying to Iraq in October to join his Stryker Brigade.

Speaking Thursday, Burrows said he jury's verdict gratified him but the rush to judgment by the public and the authorities left him troubled.
