The murder trial for the former Franklin County deputy is back for its eighth day as a new witness was added and subpoenas were issued last week.
UPDATES FROM COURT: https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/jason-meade-murder-trial-for-casey-goodson-jr-death-week-3/530-1f11ff90-949e-4d21-b280-da9f33f98360
The defense did not call any additional witnesses to the stand Tuesday as the Jason Meade trial resumed this week after a short delay. Attorneys for Meade were expected to call a use of force expert to testify but instead rested their case.
The judge allowed the state to call a rebuttal witness to testify in court on Tuesday morning. Christopher Corne, who is employed by an HVAC company, said he was working in the area the day of the shooting.
Prior to Corne's testimony, the judge told the jury that a separation of witness order was issued for this case. The judge explained the purpose of the order is to not allow witnesses to hear the evidence and testimony of others.
Corne was not on the prosecution's original witness list and the judge told the jury that he came forward after watching portions of the testimony from local media coverage and live video of the trial. The judge told the jury Corne posted several statements about the case on social media and then also later deleted his Facebook account.
"You may consider these factors when trying to determine the witness's credibility," the judge said. He then reminded the jury, it is their duty to decide what testimony to believe and what testimony not to believe.
Last week, additional subpoenas issued showed attorneys wanted to know about any communication between Goodson's mom, Tamala Payne, Goodson family attorney, Sean Walton and Christopher Corne.
Corne delivered his deposition testimony on Monday, along with Payne and Walton.
