Beattie Trial Near Verdict as Jury Deliberates in Beattie Case
Jurors in the Midlothian murder trial of Henry Beattie remain divided with verdicts leaning toward conviction. Prosecution insists Beattie killed his wife after a dance, citing circumstantial evidence and witnesses.

Chicago witnesses and last-minute testimony loom as potential factors if the panel does not agree.
