A Codington County journey has found a Watertown man accused of killing a woman not guilty.

Jeremiah Peacemaker was charged with first- and second-degree murder in death of Kendra Owen.

Owen was found dead in her Watertown apartment in September of 2020.

Peacemaker’s trial began last week, over three years after the crime.

The jury returned its not guilty verdict late Tuesday night after ten hours of deliberation.
