Jury deliberating in Horton case
Former student standing trial for assault
By Brian Bloch
Emerald Reporter
Defense counsel wrapped up its case and sent
the twelve-member jury into deliberation on the
third day of former Oregon football player Derek
Horton's trial Thursday
Horton is on trial for first degree sexual as
sault stemming from an incident that took place
Jan. 5 between he and a then 18-year-old female
University student.
The jury delilrerated for just over an hour
Thursday before deciding to return Friday for fur
ther discussion Ten of the twelve jury members
must reach a consensus decision before a verdict
can ire rendered
After a brief closing statement from prosecutor
Ed Hagen. Horton's attorney Kenneth Murrow
completed his case and asked the jury to consider
whether or not the prosecution had proven be
yond a reasonable doubt that his client is guilty.
Murrow said the key weakness in the prosecu
tion's case lies in its almost exclusive reliance on
the woman's testimony. He said the prosecution
has lacked sufficient evidence and testimony to
convict his client of the crime.
“Thai's what their case has always been
about." he said. "She says it happened, so just
accept it."
He also reiterated inconsistencies in the wom
an's testimony and the testimony of other prose
cution witnesses during his closing, contending
that those inconsistencies are enough to cast a
reasonable doubt.
Hagen closed the trial asking the jury to believe
the woman's account on the basis that it had been
corroborated by several witnesses and the notes
of a Eugene police officer who interviewed her
shortly after the incident.
He also said his client had no reason to lie and
would benefit in no way by fabricating charges
and seeking a conviction of Horton. Hagen asked
jurors to "look into their hearts" and consider
their own feelings about the reliability of the
woman's testimony.
"If she was trying to make up a story, that
would have been apparent ten seconds into her
testimony," Hagen said.
