After facing criminal charges in Hall County for seven years, a former youth football coach in Gainesville was acquitted by a jury in about 45 minutes. “For a jury of strangers to do something in 45 minutes that the district attorney’s office didn’t do in seven years, to me, says a lot,” said Aaron B. Nicely on Tuesday. The prosecution had sought to prove the 36-year-old was guilty, partially by entering into evidence the fact he had fled the county.
