YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge R. Scott Krichbaum found all four young men who went on trial this week not guilty of felonious assault in a Jan. 12 confrontation in the men’s room at Double Bogeys Bar & Grill in the Southern Park Mall in Boardman.

The trial without a jury resumed this morning with three of the four defendants testifying, followed by closing arguments and the judge taking less than 30 minutes to announce his verdict. There also was a full day of testimony on Monday. The courthouse was closed Tuesday for Veteran’s Day.

The defendants hugged their attorneys and each other and sighed deep sighs of relief when the verdicts were read and the judge had left the bench.
