On day two of deliberations, a jury in Tioga County Court reached a verdict in the murder trial of Douglas Every. Every, 63, of the town of Tioga, 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. Every was accused of stabbing and killing his housemate, Milton Jump, 39, in October 2013. Every admitted to stabbing his roommate during a drunken dispute, but claimed it was an act of self defense. 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.
