So - considering it is a Holiday on Monday - I will "assume" the trial continues on Tuesday, 10/13.

@Tippy Lynn - anything in the court site about this? Or any new on "what" is happening in the court room?
TIA!

GUILTY!

The jury returned a verdict of guilty Thursday against the 43-year-old father, Curtis G. Collman II, accused of failing to get treatment for his son who ingested a deadly dose of methamphetamine.

The seven-man, five-woman panel returned with that verdict after deliberations of less than two hours.

Besides a Level 1 felony charge of neglect of a dependent resulting in death, the jury also found Collman guilty on four additional counts: intimidation with a deadly weapon, a Level 5 felony, possession of methamphetamine between 10 and 28 grams, a Level 4 felony; and Class A misdemeanor charges of theft and pointing a firearm at another person.

Collman’s sentencing hearing is set for 9 a.m. Nov. 5.

Thank you @JerseyGirl !

I was surprised by the quick verdict. The defense probably didn’t have much and the jury only took 2 hours to convict.

I'll go ahead & post this & wait for @Tippy Lynn to let me know if this is still "a go".

After the jury returned with the verdict, they were also asked to determine if Collman was guilty of being a habitual offender since he had prior convictions for sexual misconduct with a minor in August 2009 & dealing in cocaine or narcotic drugs in February 2011. They returned with a guilty verdict on that offense, which means Collman could get a sentence of up to 60 years. Collman’s sentencing hearing is set for 9am on Nov. 5.
