A Bermuda jury today returned a speedy verdict of acquittal for Little Rock lawyer Gary Barket, who was arrested for guns found in checked luggage when he attempted to leave the country after a business trip. He said he didn’t know the guns were in his bags and the jury apparently accepted that defense. Barket is shown above in a photo after the verdict with his wife, Terry.

U.S. Rep. Vic Snyder appeared as a character witness for Barket today. He joined a list of other notable Arkansans who testified to Barket’s good reputation.
UPDATE: On the jump is a report from a reporter for Bermuda’s Royal Gazette on today’s proceedings, the third day of the trial, including comments from the Barket family.
