After two days of deliberations, a jury in Tioga County Court reached a verdict in the murder trial of Douglas Every on Friday. Every was found guilty of manslaughter in the first degree Friday morning. He was found not guilty of the original charges against him– murder in the second degree and tampering with physical evidence. During Thursday’s deliberations, the jury requested again to hear the recording of the 911 call Every made after stabbing Jump. It also requested to view the hour-and-a-half video of Every’s interview with investigators after the incident. His bail was revoked, and the judge has remanded him to the Tioga County Jail until his next hearing. Every will be in court again, to face sentencing, on Friday Jan. 30th. The district attorney said Every faces a minimum of five years to a maximum of 25 years.
