Jury Deliberates in Trial of Ex-Deputy Accused of Fatally Shooting Casey Goodson Jr.
The murder trial of former Ohio sheriff's deputy Jason Meade, charged with the 2020 shooting of Casey Goodson Jr., has reached jury deliberation after weeks of testimony.
- Prosecutors argue Jason Meade's claim of self-defense lacks credibility, highlighting Goodson was shot six times, including five in the back.
- Defense insists evidence supports Meade's assertion that Goodson brandished a gun, though the only witness to this is Meade himself.
- A surprise witness, Christopher Corne, testified he did not see a gun in Goodson's hands, contradicting Meade's account.
- Goodson was found with a sandwich bag and keys in his hands; his legally carried firearm was found inside, safety engaged.
- Expert witness Seth Stoughton indicated the justification for deadly force hinges on whether Goodson pointed a gun at Meade.
