Jury Begins Deliberations in Harvest Homecoming Murder Trial of Isaiah Page

Jurors must decide whether phone notes and scene analysis link Page to Bryce Gerlach’s death despite the lack of a recovered gun.

Overview

  • Closing arguments concluded Friday morning, and the case was sent to the jury by early afternoon on Day 12 of the trial.
  • Prosecutors pointed to notes found on Page’s phone that a detective testified referenced a shooting and targeting rival gang members.
  • The defense emphasized multiple shooters, conflicting witness accounts, and an incomplete 3D scene reconstruction that omitted the fountain area.
  • Investigators reported two .40-caliber casings near where Page was seen, but no firearm was recovered and no DNA was taken from the casings.
  • Several co-defendants pleaded guilty or were sentenced in related cases, leaving Page as the only defendant to stand trial.
