A jury acquitted Jakob Chittenden of manslaughter charges in the 2023 death of Adam Record. The incident occurred after Record, 26, allegedly followed Chittenden home from a Fairport bar and attacked him in his driveway.
Chittenden’s lawyer argued he acted in self-defense during the confrontation. The two men reportedly did not know each other before that night.
The Ontario County jury delivered the not guilty verdict on December 18, following a trial that began earlier in the month.
