Good evening,

Jurors returned a verdict this evening in the Prindel Creek Farm murder trial, finding Everett Scott Fuller guilty of first-degree manslaughter — but not guilty of second-degree murder. Fuller was on trial for fatally shooting Christopher Lee “Bubba” Clark Jr. the day after Christmas 2024 at the farm, deep in the Coast Range. Fuller had testified, saying he acted in self defense.
