Castle Doctrine clears brothers of murder

Castle Doctrine clears brothers of murder

CLARK COUNTY, Ohio (WDTN) - Two Clark County brothers acquitted of murder charges used the so-called Castle Doctrine to win their case.

Jordan and Anthony Hottenstein were found not guilty of murder Wednesday.

Their lawyer, Richard Mayhall, successfully argued that the brothers had a right to shoot Jamez Hall during an altercation in July 2011.

"They were in their car and the evidence showed that a robbery was taking place. The judge told the jury that the defendant was acting in self defense," Mayhall said.
