Allen man acquitted in deadly shooting
By JUSTIN STORY
SCOTTSVILLE – Bolstered by claims that he acted in self-defense, Jackie Mutter was found not guilty Thursday of murder.A jury of eight women and four men in Allen Circuit Court deliberated for 3 1/2 hours at the end of a four-day trial before acquitting Mutter, 65, of Scottsville, in the 2017 shooting of Wendell Jackson, 38, of Scottsville.
Mutter appeared to show no emotion as Allen Circuit Judge Janet Crocker read the not guilty verdict aloud.
“Mr. Mutter is remorseful for what really amounts to a tragedy for everybody involved,” Mutter’s attorney, Ken Garrett, said after the trial.
Jackson’s uncle Dennis Jackson called the verdict a “travesty of justice” as he left the Allen County Justice Center.
Mutter testified in his own defense, recalling under questioning from Garrett that he and Brandon “Speedy” Taylor traveled to Wendell Jackson’s home on Hade Bell Road on Jan. 2, 2017, to collect $300 that Jackson owed him for a pickup truck that Mutter had sold to Jackson.
The group met in Jackson’s garage, where Mutter recalled talking with Jackson for about 10 to 15 minutes as they stood on opposite sides of the truck’s tailgate.
Mutter said he was not sure what happened to provoke the gunfire, but he testified that Jackson pulled a handgun from his waistband and began shooting at him, wounding him in the right arm near his shoulder.

Maconga…need we say more. Claw warm up the wheel. As of this morning popo still hunting for the perp. Maconga’s homicide rate, per capita, rivals Chiraq’s.
Mr. Mutter got real lucky on the murder charge. Me thinks there is more to “the rest of the story.”
Akron. Real nice mixture of dumb crook news. As the old popo saying goes…”We don’t have time to go after the smart crooks cause we too busy catching teh stoopid ones.”
Nice little 7 shot hand cannon you gots there Mister. Nothing at all wrong with wheel guns, ‘specially when the bad guy don’t know it’s a 7 shot.
Based on available public information, the Whiz Wheel®™ recognizes that the well known to law enforcement (at least four previous arrests) urban entrepreneur De’Vontae Amon Carswell should receive a Dumb Ass Move score of 148.
The guy that shot towards the homeowner as he ran? Appears to have control issues. It’s as if he’s saying, “How dare he scare me with that warning shot!” Wouldn’t be surprised if he felt that his decision to break in was the right one and that he had the “right” to do it. 🙄
I started reading through the Akron reports, and at the top of the reports, all I can say is that there are a bunch of stoopid gulla-bull people there. How do they manage to live?
