A former funeral director at Arkansas Funeral Care in Jacksonville has been found not guilty of all eight counts of criminal abuse of corpses.
The jury returned its verdict about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday after just over an hour of deliberation that began around 4:35 p.m.
The number of charges Edward Snow, 64, of Cabot faced dropped from 13 to nine on Monday and from nine to eight on Tuesday afternoon.
Snow was accused of mistreating human remains, in part to satisfy his employer's demands to keep operating costs low, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette previously reported.
