00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: dismissal of four jurors, Mead's first trial in February ended

51
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 2: in a mistrial due to the jury's inability to reach

52
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,359

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: a not guilty plea, and his attorneys claimed that political

56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: pressure from local elected officials was the reason behind the

57
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: prosecution's decision to request a second trial. Mead shot Goodson

58
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,440

60
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: in his deposition that he was afraid for both his

61
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,520

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: gun at him as the two drove past each other.

63
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,160

64
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: toward him with a gun in his hand. According to

Speaker 2: while clutching his keys in one hand in a sandwich

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: bag in the other. They acknowledged that Goodson may have

68
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: had a gun, but that he had a license to

69
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: carry a firearm. The handgun that belonged to Goodson, a

70
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,800

Speaker 3: dismissal request. The trial date for a man accused of
