"Former Ohio Sheriff's Deputy Testifies in Murder Trial for Fatal Shooting of Casey Goodson"

Former Ohio sheriff's deputy Jason Meade, who is on trial for the murder of Casey Goodson Jr., testified that he shot Goodson in self-defense, claiming that Goodson brandished a gun at him. However, prosecutors argue that Goodson was holding a bag of sandwiches and his keys when he was killed, and that his gun was found on the kitchen floor with the safety engaged. Meade, who is white, shot the Black 23-year-old Goodson six times, five of which were in the back.
