A verdict has been reached in the trial of a former Batavia High School student who is accused of stabbing a classmate.Odom was on trial for assault and weapon charges.
Antwan Odom was found NOT guilty on all counts related to the stabbing of his neighbor Ray Leach.Prosecutors say they were fighting about $50 stolen from a bottle in Leach's bedroom.
Odom's lawyer, Frank Housch was a guest today on the Kimberly and Beck show on our sister station Radio 95.1, and described his client's reaction to the verdict as "elated." He says Odom "bet the house" by refusing to plead guilty to a lesser charge and maintaining his innocence, and no knife was ever found.
The incident happened last year on Ross Street.
