CHEHALIS – Jurors for the coroner’s inquest into the 1998 death of former trooper Ronda Reynolds adjourned for the night after beginning deliberations about 11 o’clock today.
They are scheduled to return to the courtroom in Chehalis at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning.
The five jurors are tasked with determining if Reynolds death in her Toledo home was due to suicide, homicide or something else.
Some 40 witnesses have testified in the inquest which began last week.
