                                      CANTON, N. Nike Vapormax Flyknit 2 Australia .Y. -- A black former college soccer coach accused of killing his ex-girlfriends 12-year-old white son in a largely white upstate town was found not guilty Wednesday by a judge.Oral Nick Hillary hugged his lawyer and cried as Judge Felix Catena ruled against prosecutors who relied on circumstantial evidence to bring a second-degree murder charge against Hillary in the October 2011 killing of Garrett Phillips. He was accused of choking the boy to death in an apartment in Potsdam, a small college town near the Canadian border.Hillarys lawyers argued during the nonjury trial that the case was riddled with doubt and repeated the claims of critics who said authorities in the overwhelmingly white community unjustly prosecuted him.Outside of court, Hillary thanked his lawyers and supporters while defense lawyer Norman Siegel said his client can finally move on after living under this cloud for five years. Hillary did not take questions.St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain said at a separate news conference afterward that race had nothing to do with the prosecution, which she still felt was justified.There will be no search for anybody else, she said. He was the only person that committed this crime. Im 100 percent certain of that.Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick, who helped Rain prosecute the case, told Syracuse.com that its hard to see a killer walk out of court, but I have tremendous respect for Judge Catena. I know he deliberated fairly.Hillary was born in Jamaica and first came to northern New York as a standout player at St. Lawrence University. At the time of the killing, he was the head soccer coach at Clarkson University. He and his daughter had lived with Tandy Cyrus and her two sons until the relationship ended in summer 2011.While prosecutors lacked DNA or fingerprint evidence, Fitzpatrick said during closing arguments that he had made a strong case based on evidence that included security camera footage showing the movements of the boy and Hillary on the streets of Potsdam right before the killing.After the verdict was read in court, Rain stood in front of the family section and said, Im sorry. The boys relatives sobbed after the verdict.The family left the heavily guarded courthouse without speaking to reporters.The district attorney at the time of the killing never brought charges.Rain campaigned on the case, though the first murder indictment she secured was dismissed by a judge. She was able to get the current indictment last year. Air Max Tn Australia . - NASCAR announced a 33-race schedule for the 2014 Nationwide Series with virtually no changes from this years slate.

Each week, ESPN.com writer and MMA Live Extra analyst Brett Okamoto provides his take on the hottest topics in the world of mixed martial arts.This week, Okamoto squares off with UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson?to debate the latest news and trends entering UFC 200 on July 9 in Las Vegas. Johnson (24-2-1), ESPN.coms No. 1-rated pound-for-pound fighter, returns to the Octagon on July 30 when he defends his title against Wilson Reis at UFC 201.1.?Which fight are you most looking forward to at UFC 200?Demetrious Johnson: I would say the Jon Jones-Daniel Cormier fight. I know its kind of cliche to pick that one, but I felt like neither one of them really got the best of the other the first time they fought. DC lost but he didnt get destroyed. Im excited for Jose Aldo-Frankie Edgar and Amanda Nunes-Miesha Tate, but no matter what happens with those, life will go on. The hard one that everyone is going to be taking about is Jones-DC. Theres a lot riding on that. I think DC needs this. His career has led up to this. If Tate were to lose her belt to Nunes it would be like, OK, you lost, but its all right, go get the next one. I feel the same thing with me. If I were to lose a fight at this point, itd be like, All right, lets get this next one. With Jones-DC, if Jones loses, everyone will be like, What the fudge? And if DC loses, people will say, See? I told you he wasnt a real champion anyway. Theres a lot at stake for both guys.Brett Okamoto:?Aldo-Edgar for me. Aldo seems somewhat forgotten based on one 13-second knockout loss to Conor McGregor in December. Hes still the most dominant champion in featherweight history. How does he look after that humbling of a loss? Ill be honest, I havent agreed with every step he has taken since then. The way he talks about that loss, chalking it up as a complete fluke and then calling McGregor out on social media only to not take the fight at UFC 196 when it was offered on short notice -- I dont think some of those actions have benefited him in the public. But hes a great martial artist and has been for a very long time. If he comes back and looks confident against Edgar, I would want to see a rematch against McGregor. And Edgar is pound-for-pound one of the best, in my opinion. So, this fight does it for me2.?There are seven former UFC champions fighting on that card (including Jon Jones, who is an interim champion). How many of those seven will win a title again?Johnson:?[Bantamweight] T.J. Dillashaw, yes. [Welterweight] Johny Hendricks, no. [Heavyweight] Cain Velasquez, no. [Featherweight] Frankie Edgar, I dont know. We dont know if Conor McGregor wants to defend it. [Featherweight] Jose Aldo, same thing. [Heavyweight] Brock Lesnar, no. [Light heavyweight] Jon Jones, yes. I think Dillashaw, watching his last fight against Dominick Cruz, that fight could have gone either way. I think if you ran it back things could be different. Edgar and Aldo, who knows? Conor might say, F--- it, Im making money regardless of being a champion, and vacate it. Then youd have Aldo beating Edgar, Edgar beating Aldo. Ill say yes on both of them, why not? Hendricks, I just think youve got Wonderboy [Stephen Thompson] up there now, T-Wood [Tyron Woodley], Robbie Lawler. And Cain, I feel like the injury bug will hold him back, man. Thats my honest opinion. Its not even about winning his fights, its him staying healthy enough to get fights, and I think hell have a problem with that.Okamoto:?Agree with Johnson on everything, except Lesnar. Lesnar is definitely getting that belt back ... all right, maybe not. But yeah, Dillashaw is right there with Cruz. They are neck and neck. I think their next title fight (there will be a second one e
