Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:01:52 GMT

He is being tried for murder in the 2020 shooting death of Michael Ramos. Monday, Judge Dayna Blazey issued what is referred to as an "Allen charge," asking the jurors who were holding out to consider the majority's side. Blazey said jurors announced earlier in the day that they could not come to a unanimous decision. Should the jurors not be able to come to a unanimous decision, Judge Blazey would be forced to declare a mistrial, it would be the second time in this case. In May of 2023, a judge granted a mistrial because of issues with the jury process. Jury hears closing arguments Tuesday in APD officer’s murder trial During the trial, state prosecutors worked to show that Ramos was driving away from officers -- and that nobody was in danger of being hit by his vehicle -- when Taylor shot and killed him. Meanwhile, the ove...

Stock upCB Ja’Quan McMillianWhat more can you say about this guy? He’s unheralded – undrafted out of Eastern Carolina last year – and he’s not very big. But he just keeps making plays since Vance Joseph made him the starting nickel five weeks ago. McMillian had five tackles for loss across two games against Kansas City and started this one by stripping James Cook on the first snap of the game. He’s feisty, he’s tough and he just keeps making plays.WR Courtland SuttonSutton’s going to need a couple of big games in order to hit 1,000 yards this season, but make no mistake about it: He’s having a good year. Sutton’s ridiculous toe-drag touchdown against Buffalo was his seventh already this season, a career best. In four years besides 2019, his best as a pro, Sutton totaled eight touchdown grabs. He made a couple of other big plays in this game, including a 30-yarder that jump-started a field goal drive late in the first half.QB Russell WilsonIt hasn’t always been pretty, but Wilson rea...
