Trenton Man Acquitted of Attempted Murder
by Linda Stein/The Times - Thursday October 23, 2008

A 52-year-old Trenton man hugged his defense lawyer and wiped tears from his eyes after a jury acquitted him of attempted murder and other charges on Thursday.  John Paul Jones, of Bellevue Avenue, had been charged after a fight with another man after a cabaret at a Ewing firehouse on April 2, 2006. Both men had been drinking before the altercation. The victim, Robert Wynn, 40, of Ewing admitted that he swore at Jones and threw the first punch. Wynn, who was stabbed in the heart, stomach and neck, almost died, according to testimony from an emergency room doctor.
"Thank God it's over," Jones said, after the verdict. The five-man, seven-woman jury deliberated for about three hours over two days before reaching its verdict. Superior Court Judge Thomas Kelly told Jones that he was free to go.  His lawyer, Raymond C. Staub, who argued that his client had acted in self-defense, said, "I'm very happy for Mr. Jones. I think the jury system works and this proves it. I think they had a tough case to decide and ultimately, this was the right decision. I'm thrilled for Mr. Jones and his family."  Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Rubin said he accepts the jury's decision.
