The D-A was facing two felony charges of conspiracy to hinder prosecution and one misdemeanor count of counseling a defendant.
Shuler Smith left the courtroom with his attorneys thanking the jury for delivering what they called a fair decision. The D-A was accused of helping defendant Christopher Butler with his drug possession case.
