Jury Deliberates in Julian Conley Trial, Seeks Video and Legal Definitions

Jurors requested legal definitions alongside video evidence to evaluate whether Julian Conley was the shooter.

Overview

  • Jurors continued deliberations Friday at the Fulton County Courthouse, and a verdict could be announced at any time.
  • The jury asked the court to define aggravated assault and malicious intent as they assess the charges.
  • Jurors requested to review all available video from the night of Secoriea Turner’s killing, including footage they said shows Conley armed at the scene.
  • Conley’s presence at the July 2020 shooting is not disputed, and the core issue is whether he was the gunman, with testimony conflicting over the shooter’s clothing.
  • Conley faces 20 counts, including malice murder, felony murder, gang-related offenses and weapons charges, as nearby residents and business owners look for accountability after years of slow recovery.
