Jury Begins Deliberations in Conroy Trial for Killing of Marcelo Lucero
Deliberations by the jury have begun in the trial of Jeffrey Conroy for the murder of Marcelo Lucero. The Associated Press has interviewed several of the alternate jurors released from service. Here is an excerpt from that report:
Three of four alternate jurors who were released from duty as deliberations began said they were inclined to convict Conroy at least of manslaughter. Some also said Conroy hurt his case by implicating another teen at the end of his trial.
“He said nothing to change my mind. I did not believe the story that someone else did it after 17 months,” said Cathy Tidmarsh, one alternate.
Another, Cosmos Hionidis, said Conroy “would have been better off not going on that stand and giving us that story.”
We will bring you the jury’s decision as soon as we receive it. Check back regularly.
