The murder trial for the former Franklin County sheriff's deputy who is charged with fatally shooting 23-year-old Casey Goodson Jr. more than three years ago is now underway. Ex-deputy Jason Meade pleaded not guilty in December 2021 to murder and reckless homicide charges for the shooting death of Goodson and is now back in court after several delays.
