A Flathead County jury last week acquitted a man accused of shooting another man following a parking dispute in Kalispell in September 2023.
Prosecutors charged John David Walker, 71, with felony assault with a weapon in connection with the Sept. 27 shooting. Following a three-day trial in Flathead County District Court, jurors spent about two hours deliberating before returning with a not guilty verdict on Nov. 14.
County Attorney Travis Ahner prosecuted the case while attorney Stephen Nardi served as Walker's defense counsel. Judge Heidi Ulbricht presided over the case.
