Seppenfield acquitted of all charges in murder case
Released after spending 425 days in Dawson County jail

There was a hushed sound of relief as Dawson County Clerk of Courts Justin Power read the verdict. "Not guilty on all charges," he said just after 5:15 p.m. Monday, as one family quietly hugged and celebrated, while another held to each other, visibly shocked to hear the jury's decision. Herman James "Bo" Seppenfield VII, 51, walked out of the Dawson County jail less than 45 minutes later a free man, after spending 425 days in custody for the 2014 shooting death of 37-year-old Brandon Weaver, also of Dawsonville.
