A Pulaski County jury substantially cleared Christian lifestyle influencer Dennis Rainey of wrongdoing Friday for cutting back a grove of trees on public property behind his Roland hilltop home, rejecting the felony charge leveled by authorities in favor of a misdemeanor conviction.
Dennis Rainey, the Christian lifestyle influencer on trial this week for cutting more than 100 trees on public property to improve his view of Lake Maumelle, is only on trial because he s become the target of both a "grassroots campaign" by environmentalists out to get him and a similarly obsessed government agency that wants to make an example of him through his wallet, his lawyers told a Pulaski County jury on Wednesday.
Three years after one Pulaski County circuit judge predicted a bleak future for 17-year-old capital murder suspect Malik Raheem Williams, a second judge has seen the potential for rehabilitation in the Little Rock teen, ordering that he be tried in juvenile court.
