Jurors to begin deliberations Thursday in Curtis Young murder trial

YOUNGSTOWN — Judge Maureen A. Sweeney instructed jurors in Curtis Young’s capital murder trial to bring extra clothing when they arrive at the courthouse at 9 a.m. Thursday for the prosecuting and defense lawyers’ closing arguments.

As soon as the lawyers finish their arguments, the Mahoning County Common Pleas Court judge will instruct them at length on their complex verdict options in this case, and they’ll begin their deliberations.

“When you do begin your deliberations sometime tomorrow, it may become necessary for you to be sequestered. What that means is you will not be permitted to go home tomorrow night. Therefore, it is important that you bring two changes of clothing with you,” the judge told the jurors this afternoon.
