Flash: Parker Jury Split on Murder Charge

The jury deliberating murder charges against the husband of Walker County (Geo.) sheriff’s dispatcher Theresa Parker are split on the murder charges 8-4. The judge polled the jury but did not say which way they are split–guilty or not guilty. Late today the jury told the judge they are unanimous on three other charges against Sam Parker: making false statements, violation of oath of office and computer invasion of privacy. Again, the judge didn’t disclose which way the jury voted. The judge dismissed the jury for the day and told them to return Wednesday morning. Theresa Parker disappeared in Feb. 2008 and her body has never been found.
