TRIAL DATES AND RESULTS:  Trial commenced on May 10, 2010 and concluded on May 12, 2010.  The jury deliberated less than 20 minutes and unanimously determined that Mr. Lain, a Missouri resident, was not guilty of the federal offense of giving a hand gun to his family minister, a Kansas resident, when neither were federally licensed firearms dealers.  Mr. Lain's counsel argued to the jury that Mr. Lain was unaware of the transfer requirements under the law and did not intentionally commit a federal violation.  The jury by their acquittal agreed.

PACER official docket print out effective 5/13/2010 as of 1700 hours CST.

An Indictment is merely an accusation and no evidence of guilt.  The United States must prove and establish by credible admissible evidence that the acts charged by the grand jury in the indictment are true beyond a reasonable doubt.  The grand jury, a secret deliberative body under the control of the prosecutor, is not required and does not make such a finding -- it only brings charges based to large extent on summary hearsay evidence presented by the prosecutor
