After 6 years on death row, Wesley Quick has been acquitted of killing 2 men in his 3rd trial for the 1995 shooting deaths. Quick, who was sent to death row after his second trial ended in a conviction in 1997, won a third trial on appeal and was acquitted Monday with the help of a new defense team. Quick, now 26, was accused of killing John Hughes and Nathan King. After being convicted and sent to death row, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals ordered a new trial in 2001, saying Quick was indigent and the trial judge was wrong to deny him a free copy of the transcript from the 1st trial.
