Ex-Giant Travis Rudolph found not guilty on all charges
On Tuesday, jurors heard closing arguments in the murder trial of former New York Giants wide receiver Travis Rudolph.
Prior to the final statements, Rudolph himself took the stand and again declared his innocence. Although he acknowledged firing the shots that killed Sebastien Jean-Jacques, he remained adamant that it was a case of self-defense.
“I kept shooting until I no longer felt there was a threat,” Rudolph said on the stand, via the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “No, I’m not guilty. I saved me and my brother’s life.”
