WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Jurors will continue deliberating murder charges against a man being tried a fourth time for the 1990 killing of a 9-year-old girl whose body was found in Davenport.
The Quad-City Times reports the Black Hawk County jury will renew deliberations Tuesday morning after working for several hours before being dismissed Monday afternoon.
Jurors are considering a single count of first-degree murder against 57-year-old Stanley Liggins, who is charged in the Sept. 17, 1990, death of Jennifer Lewis of Rock Island, Illinois. Her burning body was found in a field near a Davenport elementary school.
Liggins has been twice convicted of murder but the verdicts were overturned. His last trial ended in a mistrial.
The trial was moved to Black Hawk County because of pretrial publicity.
