Another juror has been dismissed in the murder trial of a former Ohio sheriff’s deputy, forcing the panel to start over its deliberations for the third time in three days. The dismissal came less than an hour after jurors resumed their talks on Friday. There are now no more alternate jurors available for the case, and it is unclear what will happen if another juror is dismissed. Jason Meade, who is white, is charged with murder and reckless homicide in the December 2020 killing in Columbus of 23-year-old Casey Goodson Jr., who was Black. Meade maintains that he shot Goodson because he brandished a gun, but he’s the only person who testified that Goodson was holding a gun.
