Overview
- Jurors began deliberations Tuesday after a roughly 16-week trial and will resume Wednesday morning under Judge Elizabeth Peterson.
- Shannon O’Connor faces 63 charges that include furnishing alcohol to minors, child endangerment and felony sex offenses tied to alleged teen parties.
- Prosecutors called about 13 student witnesses and showed videos depicting heavily intoxicated teens, alcohol stocked at O’Connor’s home and her presence at gatherings.
- The defense focused on disputing the felony sex counts, did not contest some alcohol-related misconduct, called no witnesses and kept O’Connor off the stand.
- A felony verdict could mean prison time and sex-offender registration, while misdemeanor findings could lead to credit for time served.
