SUMMARY: The jury is now deliberating in the Tim Harrington capital murder trial. Harrington is accused of killing Ole Miss student Jimmy J. Lee to hide their relationship. The defense argued for a not guilty verdict, while the prosecution urged the jury to find Harrington guilty of one of the murder charges. The judge reminded those present that there will likely be a perceived winner and loser in the case. The jury, sequestered since the trial began last week, will decide Harrington’s fate.
