Judge declares mistrial in cop shooting death of Casey Goodson Jr

An judge has declared a mistrial in the shooting death of Casey Goodson Jr. by a former sheriff deputy after the jury failed to reach a verdict - ending tumultuous proceedings that saw four jurors dismissed.

Jason Meade was charged with murder and reckless homicide in the December 2020 killing of Goodson Jr. in Columbus.

Meade, who is white, shot Goodson six times, including five times in the back, as the 23-year-old man tried to enter his grandmother´s home.
