COLORADO SPRINGS — The jury in the case of former police officer Joshua Carrier deadlocked on 150 of the 207 counts against him.
Carrier was convicted Tuesday of 21 felonies related to exploitation of children and was taken into custody. He was acquitted on 36 counts, according to a defense attorney.
He was not convicted of any touching-related charges.
The judge read the 139 verdict forms prepared by the jury to a packed courtroom.
Initially, one guilty verdict was returned on a touching-related charge, but as the jury was polled a woman juror said she was changing her decision to not guilty. The jury returned to deliberate on that charge and returned with a “no finding” verdict.
The judge warned the courtroom before the verdicts were read to avoid any outburst. There was some sniffling from the accusers side of the courtroom as multiple not guilty and no finding verdicts were read.
