AURORA -- The future of accused murderer Robert Ray is now in the hands of a jury.Ray faces charges of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Gregory Vann during a party at Lowry Park on July 4, 2004.The jury deliberated all day Thursday and announced they would reconvene Friday at 9 a.m.
The jury was given a thick packet of instructions and was told they must first go through the instructions before they can come to a decision in the case.The jury asked the judge for clarification regarding the charge of complicity, which stipulates that even though Ray didn't fire the shot that killed Vann, he either aided, embedded or encouraged a person to commit the crime. Thus, he can be charged with first-degree murder.Ray's alleged accomplice, Sir Mario Owens, is accused of firing the shot that killed Vann. Owens is scheduled to go on trial for Vann's death in January.The shooting killed Vann and injured three others including Javad Marshall-Fields. Marshall-Fields was to be a key witness in Ray's trial, but was gunned down along with his fiancée, Vivian Wolfe, before he was able to testify in court.Ray will appear before another jury for the murder trial in the June 20, 2005 killing of Marshall-Fields and Wolfe. He is charged along with Owens and Parish Carter in connection with their murders.
