A Leavenworth County jury found him not guilty on Tuesday. Nelson was shot in the head July 3 at the family's home. Huninghake testified that he shot Smith accidentally when a shotgun went off as he lost his balance and fell against a wall.
Huninghake was released from the Leavenworth County Jail after the verdict was announced.
