A jury has acquitted a Middletown man accused of killing his live-in girlfriend.
Sixty-year-old Charles Frost was charged with murder in the May 11 death of 47-year-old Deborah Dockery.
Frost told a jury he and Dockery had been drinking and arguing when she came at him with a knife in their Helton Drive home.
Frost said he shot her twice in self defense, and the jury believed him and returned not guilty verdicts on all counts after nine hours of deliberation.
