It took a few hours but last night a Garfield County jury came back with a not guilty verdict in the 2010 shooting of a Rifle policeman.  Phil Amonette, however, was not totally scott free.  The jury did convict him of lesser charges which included charges of first degree assault against a peace officer with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief-domestic violence.  Had Amonette been found guilty of attempted murder he could have served up to 48 years in prison. The incident took place on Oct. 22^nd 2010 when Amonette was alleged to have shot officer Garrett Duncan.  He and another officer were responding to a domestic call when the incident took place.
