Former Ohio sheriff’s deputy charged in the killing of a Black man will face a retrial.

A former Ohio sheriff’s deputy charged in the killing of a Black man will face a retrial, prosecutors announce. The decision comes just days after a jury couldn’t agree on a verdict in Jason Meade’s first trial, the judge declared it a mistrial, ending tumultuous proceedings that saw four jurors dismissed. Special prosecutors, who were named to handle the case, issued a statement saying “it is in the best interest of all involved and the community” to move forward with another trial. Meade was charged with murder and reckless homicide in the December 2020 killing of Casey Goodson in Columbus.
