YOUNGSTOWN — Jurors hearing the homicide case against Charles Allen of Campbell have been released for the weekend.

Visiting Judge Thomas Pokorny is presiding over the proceedings.

The trial is set to resume Tuesday morning, officials said. County offices are closed Monday for the Columbus Day holiday.
