Ghanaian Acquitted in Honduran Diplomat's Death

A Ghanaian man has been acquitted of criminal wrongdoing in the death of a Honduran diplomat. Sam Thompson's tractor-trailer slammed into Nuria Ortiz Navarro's car on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

A jury in Pennsylvania has found that there isn't enough evidence to support a vehicular homicide conviction against Thompson.

Thompson is a native of Ghana and an illegal immigrant.

Even though he's been acquitted, Thompson is back in jail because of his undocumented status.

His lawyer says he's married to a U.S. citizen and is trying to gain legal status
