 She says the jury received the case around 10.30 a.m. and deliberated for roughly an hour before returning the verdict. The trial began Monday with jury selection. There was testimony on Tuesday and closing arguments Wednesday. The defense did not dispute that Rickey shot Officer Cram, but claimed the act was not premeditated and did not call any witnesses. The prosecution said Rickey executed Cram, who came to arrest Rickey for a misdemeanor charge of harassment from Palo Alto County.
