Before the first mistrial was declared, Judge David Young said the jurors were asking a question on whether or not they can return a verdict of "yes" on one count that Meade was justified in shooting Casey Goodson Jr. in December 2020 and that he was not justified on another count.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys gave their closing arguments in the Jason Meade trial Wednesday. Meade is charged with murder and reckless homicide in the Dec. 2020 shooting death of Casey Goodson Jr.
