Jury Deliberates in Police Abuse Trial
Jurors ended their first day of deliberations Thursday without reaching a verdict in the trial of a fired Inglewood policeman accused of assaulting a handcuffed teenager during a videotaped arrest.
Panelists deliberated about five hours before adjourning. They were expected to resume deliberations today.
Former Officer Jeremy Morse, 25, who slammed Donovan Jackson onto the trunk of a police car during a July 6, 2002, arrest at a gas station, is charged with assault under color of authority.
His former partner, Officer Bijan Darvish, 26, is charged with filing a false police report.
