MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A man in Mobile has been acquitted of
charges accusing him of stealing as much as $40,000 from a judge
and about a dozen others at a high-stakes poker game.
Jurors reached the not guilty verdict Thursday in the
first-degree burglary trial of 39-year-old Sean Lamont Hawthorne.
Hawthorne was accused of being one of two armed men who burst
into the game in August 2006 at a Mobile apartment. Among the
players was Alabama Court of Civil Appeals Court Judge Terry Moore
of Mobile. Moore testified that he was robbed of about $1,500.
At the time of the poker game, Moore had won the Republican
primary to serve on the Court of Civil Appeals, but he had not yet
been in the November general election.
