Juror Removed in Manslaughter Trial of Okla. Police Captain

Charged in teen's shooting death

|


A judge has removed a juror from the panel that is deliberating a verdict in the trial of an Oklahoma police captain charged with manslaughter in a teen's shooting death.

District Judge Donald Deason removed the female juror and replaced her with the female alternate in the case of Del City police Capt. Randy Harrison. Deason took the action after the jury foreperson reported that one juror was refusing to vote or participate in the deliberation process.

The jury resumed deliberations shortly after noon. Jurors deliberated more than eight hours before they were sent home at 12:40 a.m. Tuesday.
