After deliberating for just under an hour on Monday evening, a Worcester County Circuit Court jury returned with guilty verdicts on all counts against George Doran Nottingham, 49, of West Ocean City, including manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and affray. Nottingham was charged in January 2013 for his role in the death of longtime friend Michael Post, 39, outside the Harbor Inn in the early morning hours during what began as a friendly dispute over a swiped cell phone and ended with Nottingham swatting Post outside the door, causing him to fall on the icy, snowy sidewalk. Post suffered a fractured skull during the fall that ultimately caused his death.
The bar’s 16 high-tech video surveillance cameras captured the entire incident from start to finish and the video and still images captured during the altercation painted a clear picture of what happened that fateful night. During the trial, no one disputed Nottingham struck Post, causing him to fall and ultimately fracture his skull. What was in dispute, however, was who was the primary aggressor.

Remember folks, there are cameras recording you everywhere.
Way to get this gangsta thug off the streets!
I just love where the mainstream media won't publish a letter to the editor, but allows comments with no ID. At least on the blogs you know who and what you choose to believe. Steve Green is the biggest hypocrite POS that ever walked, and if not for his dad, would be dirt poor.
Sounds like the bar turned over plenty of video to avoid being sued for a slip n fall on their icy sidewalk.
The sad thing is, although convicted of killing a man, he was not committed after the verdict was read. Instead this murderer is being trusted to show up for his sentencing and is still allowed to live his life until that day. This is a huge insult to the family. Thank you Worcester County... way to go.
