ID: a "not guilty" and a $500 check

From the Spokesman Review:

Cleared man got $500 from 'Jury' - 8-year-old girl accused man of kidnapping attempt

Tim Schuetz said he was shocked when the Kootenai County Public Defender's Office told him it had a $500 check for him and a letter signed "The Jury." The check was dated April 20, just days after a Kootenai County jury acquitted Schuetz of second-degree kidnapping charges...

"We the jury feel very badly that you have had to endure more jail time when you were innocent and tried so hard to prove it," the letter said. "We hope you will continue to do what is right and that this money will be used to build a new and better life. We wish you all the best..."
