The jury deliberates on the case of Sean Goe, a man accused of the murder of Raychel Sheridan

CANTON, Ohio – Deliberations are underway in the trial of Sean Goe, the man accused of killing his girlfriend, 24-year-old Raychel Sheridan.

The trial started four days ago. You can find coverage in the Akron Beacon Journal here. After closing arguments, the prosecution and defense rested their cases on Friday.

If the jurors do not reach a verdict on Friday, they will appear in court again on Tuesday. The courthouse will be closed on Monday for Veterans Day. News 5 plans to stream the verdict live.

What happened?

In early July, Sheridan failed to show up for work. Her concerned mother contacted the Stark County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators determined there were signs of a crime scene at her Plain Township apartment.

“Evidence of foul play has been discovered. Detectives have determined that Sheridan was murdered in the apartment,” Sheriff George Maier said at a press conference in July.

However, she wasn’t there. Sanitation workers later found her body in a trash can at Mother Goose Land Park in Canton.
