[h=1]Father acquitted of shooting dead his daughter's boyfriend, 32, when he found him in her bedroom and thought he was an intruder[/h]
A Philadelphia father has been acquitted of voluntary manslaughter after he fatally shot his daughter's boyfriend believing that he was an intruder.
Charles Jordan, 42, killed Marc Carrion, 32, on September 14, 2014 believing that Mr Carrion had broken into his daughter's room in their Philadelphia apartment.
In fact his daughter, Brenda Jordan, 20, had been dating Mr Carrion for a month, and told police she invited him up to her room.
Common Pleas Court Judge Rose Marie DeFino-Nastasi listened to several witnesses and the five-minute 911 audio recording of the confrontation between Jordan and Carrion before delivering the ruling on Monday, according to Philly.com.

'Don't you move! I will shoot you!' Jordan can be heard shouting during the 911 call he made to authorities on at 11.35pm that night nearly two years ago.
