Any word yet? Jury come back with guilty?
Harford jurors in Advanced Granite shooting murder trial hear closing arguments, begin deliberating
On Tuesday, Assistant State’s Attorney Timothy Doory pointed to the video of the shooting, where Prince appears to gather his co-workers together before shooting several of them, as the most compelling evidence. He noted that Prince shoots a man on the ground, fires across the shop and calmly walks out after the shooting is done.
A note that Prince allegedly left in his home’s bathroom figured prominently in the prosecution’s closing remarks. Doory said it was evidence of Prince’s intent to carry out the shooting. The note, purportedly for his girlfriend LaKendra Harris, read “if I don’t make it home, please know that I tried.”
Prince, who testified on his own behalf last week, has said the note was written before he moved to Georgia to look for work. He also disputes that it was found in the bathroom, saying he put it in his nightstand.
After more than a week of testimony, the jury began deliberating shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday. Because of COVID-19 social distancing restrictions, the jury is deliberating in the same courtroom where evidence was heard.
If Prince is found guilty of the charges, the trial will advance to its next phase, where the jury will hear evidence about whether or not Prince is criminally responsible for the alleged acts.
