"Trial Begins for Ex-Deputy Accused of Fatally Shooting Casey Goodson Jr."

A former Ohio sheriff’s deputy, Jason Meade, is on trial for the murder of Casey Goodson Jr., a Black man who was shot in the back in 2020. Prosecutors revealed that Goodson was holding sandwiches and keys when he was shot, and his gun was found in his kitchen with the safety on. Meade claims Goodson pointed a firearm at him, but the prosecution argues that Meade's actions were intentional and unjustified. The case has sparked a federal civil rights lawsuit and a debate over whether the trial should be held in state or federal court.
