A Decatur man has been acquitted on murder charges stemming from the 2009 death of a Springfield man.
A Sangamon County jury returned that “not guilty” verdict late Monday in the trial of Ronald Hill, who was charged in the shooting death of Tyrone Harris and the wounding of another man in a dispute over a drug deal.
Although the jury cleared Hill of the murder charge and several other felony counts, he was convicted on one count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, and could still face prison time when he is sentenced in March.
