Gangsta rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg and his former bodyguard were acquitted of murder Tuesday in the shooting death of a gang member.
Snoop, 24, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, and McKinley Lee, 25, also were acquitted of conspiracy to commit assault in the Aug. 25, 1993, shooting death of Philip Woldemariam, an Ethiopian immigrant.
The panel deadlocked on a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter against both men and an accessory-after-the-fact charge against Broadus. The judge ordered jurors to resume deliberations on those counts. - Associated Press
