Fort Yates Woman Acquitted of Incest Charge
Linda McLaughlin, 40, was acquitted of Incest on November 4, 2015, after a federal jury trial in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

As the community continues to process the outcome of the trial, one thing is clear: the acquittal of Linda McLaughlin marks a significant development in this case.
