AMSTERDAM — A Dutch court acquitted the brother of Mariners outfielder Greg Halman on Thursday of stabbing the baseball star to death last year, saying he was temporarily insane at the time.
Rotterdam District said Jason Halman "was in a state of psychosis at the time of the stabbing" and could therefore not be held accountable for his actions.
Greg Halman hit .230 in 35 games for the Mariners in 2011 and made starts at all three outfield positions before being optioned to Class AAA Tacoma.
The 24-year-old Halman died after being stabbed in the neck Nov. 21 at an apartment in Rotterdam, reportedly after an argument over loud music.
