Ex-Colt Josh McNary found not guilty in rape trial

Former Colts linebacker Josh McNary took the stand in his rape trial on Wednesday to testify that he and his accuser had consensual sex last December and his testimony appears to have been given a lot of credit by the jury in the case.

McNary was found not guilty of rape, criminal confinement and battery charges after a relatively brief deliberation by the jury on Thursday. McNary’s attorney said, via the Indianapolis Star, that there was “overwhelming reasonable doubt” about the accusations and that McNary’s testimony in his own defense helped to make that case.
