Public land hunters across the country celebrated Friday as a jury quickly delivered a not-guilty verdict in the high-profile case of four Missourians charged with trespassing in Wyoming last fall.
That means those four men in their particular situation did not commit a crime. It does not mean that corner crossing is now suddenly legal. However, a separate civil lawsuit still underway could potentially address some of the legal underpinnings of the practice. The four hunters were also served a summons to reappear in the same court in June on similar charges related to crossing the same corner in 2020.
