A jury cleared the man, a Gulf War veteran, following five days of trial. The defense team included David G. Ridge and Tim George. Mr. Ridge, an excellent lawyer and good friend of Purchase, George & Murphey, P.C., gave the opening statement, cross-examined medical experts, and questioned other witnesses. Meanwhile, Erie criminal defense attorney Tim George cross-examined the estranged wife and delivered the closing argument.
