Retrial scheduled in former Ohio deputy’s murder case

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The retrial of a former Ohio sheriff’s deputy who was charged with murder in the killing of a 23-year-old Black man is scheduled for this fall.

The Oct. 31 trial date for Jason Meade, who is white, was confirmed during a status conference held Monday by Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge David Young. Casey Goodson Jr. was among several Black people killed by white Ohio law enforcement over the last decade — deaths that have all sparked national outrage and cries for police reform.

He also oversaw Meade’s first trial earlier this year, where a jury couldn’t agree on a verdict and Young declared a mistrial in February, ending tumultuous proceedings that saw four jurors dismissed.

Special prosecutors Tim Merkle and Gary Shroyer, along with Montgomery County Assistant Prosecutor Josh Shaw — who were named to handle the case — issued a statement days later saying “it is in the best interest of all involved and the community” to move forward with another trial.
