Jurors in the Cheryl McCafferty trial said they weighed all the evidence when it came to making their decision.
Prosecutors told jurors the Fort Thomas woman intended to shoot and kill her husband Robert in their bed back in June of 2007.
McCafferty's attorney claimed it was self-defense.
Juror Tom McCormick said the jury felt the truth was somewhere in the middle.
"There wasn't enough evidence to prove that she intended to kill him but there wasn't enough to prove self defense either," said McCormick.
Mccormick said the jury didn't believe money played a role in the death.
Cheryl McCafferty admitted on the stand she had a spending problem.
Prosecutors said she stole thousands from her husband.
"The first thing we did was throw out the financial stuff. We didn't pay any attention to that. We discussed everything else," said McCormick.
Mccormick felt the most emotional and perhaps powerful testimony came from McCafferty's two teenage children Molly and Patrick.
"I liked it that they still said they loved their mom. It has to say something," said McCormick.
McCormick felt McCafferty's testimony on the stand was rehearsed but believed there was domestic violence in the home.
"We think something happened. Maybe he was too controlling. I don't know but we think something happened," said McCormick.
He said being a juror on the case kept him up at night but in the end believes they made the right choice.
"I feel good. I'm sleeping better now. I feel real good about it. I think we made the right decision," said McCormick.
