Columbus Can't Wait

The trial for Jason Meade, the sheriff's deputy who stands accused of murdering Casey Goodson Jr., began this week.

We first had Casey's mother Tamala on the show months after Casey's death 3 years ago. Since then the trial has seen multiple delays, but his family may soon get some semblance of justice.

Tune in as we're reminded of the details surrounding the case and the kind of person Casey was. We also hear what life has been like for Tamala since his passing and how we can support the family during the trial.
