SUMMARY: A jury found Alton Oliver not guilty on all six charges, including murder and aggravated assault, in the death of off-duty Fulton County deputy James Thomas Jr. Oliver testified he shot Thomas in self-defense after the deputy allegedly propositioned him multiple times for sex. The incident occurred in December 2022 early morning, when Thomas approached Oliver in his personal car. Despite prosecutors disputing the self-defense claim, after over nine hours of deliberation, the jury sided with Oliver. A judge initially misannounced a guilty verdict, then corrected it to not guilty, prompting surprise in the courtroom.
