CINCINNATI — The jury has ended deliberations for the day in Cincinnati and will resume Friday in the murder trial of a white police officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man during a traffic stop last year.

Hamilton County Judge Megan Shanahan says the jury will be sequestered a second night in the case of Ray Tensing. They are scheduled to continue deliberations at 8 a.m. Friday, when the courthouse normally would be closed for Veterans Day.

She says the jury had asked to have expert testimony from both sides about police use of deadly force read back Thursday.


 

Tensing has said he feared for his life when 43-year-old Sam DuBose tried to drive away in July 2015. He later was fired from his job.
