A Hall County man who had been accused in the stabbing of his brother during an argument almost two years ago was cleared of felony aggravated assault charges by a jury last week.
Hood's attorney, public defender W. David Hoofer, said his client's family came out to support Hood during the trial.
"It was a great outcome to a stressful and sad case," Hoffer said in an email statement. "His family came out in support of Anthony at trial including his brother, the alleged victim. Anthony is appreciative both to the jury for its decision and his family for their love and support."
The victim, Trevor Lee Benson suffered a stab wound to the abdomen during the argument on March 26, 2015. The incident happened at a residence on Marlow Drive, according to deputies who were called to the scene.
