Jury Deliberations Continue In McDowell Murder Trial
The McDowell County Circuit Court heard closing arguments as jurors remained in the jury room through the morning. Judge Rudolph Murensky and prosecutors clarified instructions on the Newman rights and felony murder rule while jurors returned after lunch for further deliberations. One juror fell ill with a gall bladder attack prompting a day’s end pause and a plan to reconvene at 9:30 a.m. if the juror cannot continue, a mistrial could be declared.
