Cleared of charges: Joseph Sweeting and Reginal Oakley.
The decision reverberated throughout the courtroom.
Sweeting, Oakley and Baltimore Ravens Star Lewis were charged with murder in the stabbing deaths of the two men outside this Atlanta bar.
But just last week, Lewis reached a plea bargain agreement with prosecutors.
He pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice charges and then testified against his co-defendants in the case.

Reginald was the aggressor..."
Paul Howard, District Attorney:
"We are disappointed."
