New trial of deputies rebuffed

A federal appeals court Wednesday refused to grant a new trial in a civil lawsuit brought by the family of a Fremont-area man who was shot and killed by Sandusky County sheriff's deputies six years ago. A three-judge panel of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati rejected arguments that evidence had been withheld from the jury, including the fact that the shotgun that Bryan Jones, 26, held wasn't loaded.
