NORMAN — Norman City Councilman Stephen Tyler Holman and Friendly Market owner Robert Cox greeted cheering supporters on the courthouse steps Monday night after a jury acquitted acquitted both men on all counts.

A jury of four women and eight men deliberated five hours before acquitting the men of one felony count of acquiring proceeds from drug activity and twelve counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.

"You would think common sense would prevail," said Brecken Wagner, an attorney for Holman.

Holman and Cox were visibly moved after the verdict and hugged their attorneys and supporters in the hallway.
