BREAKING | A jury has returned a verdict of not guilty on all seven counts that former Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels was facing.

Daniels was charged with tampering with evidence, attempted destruction of evidence and five counts of lying to law enforcement. He acknowledged in court earlier this month that if he was convicted of the felonies, he could have been sentenced to up to 15 years in prison.

But the woman said what actually happened was that she and Daniels were planning on meeting up — and then his wife showed up. The suggestion was that maybe he had her arrested to avoid a confrontation. Prosecutors say Daniels lied to state law enforcement several times throughout the investigation into him.Explicit text messages read in courtwith his now-former mistress, Cierra Smith, through explicit text messages that were read aloud in court.

Then a recording of Daniels’ interview with FDLE was played for the jury. Daniels describes the incident where Smith was following him that led to him accusing his ex-mistress of stalking.

I guess all of this had to remind him that he is still black.🤔🤔

I predicted this would happen…it just seemed like a personal issue and him trying to cover up an affair…he should have been fired for using police resources to cover it up but no jury would send a county sheriff to jail for covering up affair…I’m no fan of Daniels but…

From the media coverage of this case, this verdict seems way off...but then, when was the last time we can actually trust the media? I hope the jury voted correctly.
