Mistrial Declared in High-Profile Ohio Deputy Murder Case

The trial of former deputy Jason Meade, accused of fatally shooting Casey Goodson Jr., ends in a mistrial after jury deadlock.

Jason Meade faced charges of murder and reckless homicide in the December 2020 shooting of Casey Goodson Jr., a Black man.
A judge declared a mistrial twice on Friday, citing the jury's inability to reach a unanimous verdict.
The trial highlighted racial tensions and the use of force by law enforcement, drawing national attention.
Witnesses and evidence presented at trial conflicted on whether Goodson posed a threat to Meade.
The case is part of a broader conversation on police accountability and racial justice in the United States.
