Former Ohio deputy convicted of reckless homicide in shooting of Casey Goodson Jr.
Jason Meade, a white former sheriff's deputy, was found guilty of reckless homicide on Thursday for shooting Casey Goodson Jr., a Black man, in December 2020. Jurors could not agree on the more serious charge of murder, resulting in a mistrial on that count. This is Meade's second murder trial and makes him the second white law enforcement officer convicted in Ohio for killing a Black man since George Floyd's death.
