Goetz stood utterly motionless while Jury Foreman James Hurley pronounced 17 times the words "Not guilty." Not guilty of the attempted murder of Troy Canty, 20, and Barry Allen, James Ramseur and Darrell Cabey, all 21, even though the reedy, bespectacled gunman had said in a taped confession that he "wanted to murder" all of them.
