A Stroud Township man, Randy Halterman, is found not guilty of all charges, including homicide and aggravated assault, in a high-profile case involving the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Adam Schultz. The trial focused on whether the Castle Doctrine, which permits deadly force against intruders, applied to Halterman’s actions when he shot Schultz and injured Chastity Frailey in January 2021.
