DOVER, Del. (AP) — Deliberations are expected to continue Friday in the trial of a Delaware officer charged with manslaughter in a deadly 5-car pileup. WBOC-TV reports Dover police officer Frederick Pierce decided not to testify Thursday.
Pierce is charged in connection to a 2018 chain-reaction crash that killed 44-year-old Catina Isaacs and injured a UPS driver.
A prosecutor told jurors Thursday that Pierce recklessly caused the crash by speeding and driving distracted.
A defense attorney told jurors the crash was the result of negligence and not recklessness. Pierce was off-duty and driving his personal vehicle at the time of the crash.
