COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Jury deliberations will begin Thursday in the murder trial for a former Columbus police officer who shot an unarmed man. 

The defense rested its case Tuesday in the trial for Adam Coy, 48, who is facing charges of murder, reckless homicide and felonious assault in the 2020 death of Andre Hill, 47. On Wednesday, the prosecution called an expert witness on policing to the stand in an attempt to disprove defense testimony, before attorneys from both sides made their closing arguments.  

Representing the state are Deputy Chief Counsel Anthony Pierson and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Renee Amlin of the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office. Coy’s defense team includes attorneys Mark Collins and Kaitlyn Stephens. The judge is Stephen McIntosh of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, and the jurors and alternates consist of seven men and nine women, with three being people of color.
