The long-delayed murder trial of Auburn Police Officer Jeff Nelson began on Thursday. Nelson is accused of killing Jesse Sarey, a 26-year-old man with a history of mental illness and addictions, outside a convenience store in 2019. Prosecutors argue that Nelson ignored his training and unnecessarily resorted to deadly force. Nelson claims he acted in self-defense. The trial is taking place nearly five years after the incident, with opening statements expected Thursday and a jury set to decide the verdict.
