COLUMBUS, Ohio — It has now been more than one day since the murder trial for Jason Meade, a former Franklin County sheriff's deputy, was sent to the jury.

And for the second time, the makeup of that jury has changed.

Late Thursday afternoon, the judge announced that another alternate juror is replacing one of the original members of the jury, which means they had to start deliberations all over again. That came hours after the jury asked a hypothetical question whether it could reach a verdict for one count and be hung on the other two counts. The jury also asked if it needed to find justification for all the charges or find justification for just one charge.

Jason Meade is being charged with two counts of murder and one count of reckless homicide. Spectrum News 1 legal analyst Rory Riley-Topping said the difference between murder and reckless homicide comes down to intent.

“With murder, there are varying degrees, but generally the common thread in a murder charge is that the person intends to carry out the action that they did. They intended to kill someone,” she said. “We have reckless homicide and manslaughter charges. That implies that you were reckless in your conduct. You were negligent in some way, resulting in the death of another person, but your intent was not necessarily to kill them. But that was the consequence of your reckless behavior,” said Riley-Topping.
