Jason Meade could face third murder trial

Jason Meade could face a third murder trial in the 2020 shooting death of Casey Goodson Jr., according to new court documents.

Catch up quick: A jury convicted the former Franklin County deputy of reckless homicide, a lesser charge, in May.

• Both this year and in 2024, jurors couldn't reach a consensus on murder.
• Meade is in jail and was most recently scheduled to be sentenced next Tuesday.

The latest: In a motion filed yesterday, Meade's defense attorneys say "the State will be retrying the felony murder count for a third time."

• "Because of this, by law, the Defendant cannot be sentenced on the reckless homicide count."

What's next: The motion requests Tuesday's sentencing be converted into a bond hearing, which could allow Meade to leave custody before a third trial.
