DOWNLOAD IT. TONIGHT, THE FIRST FENTANYL MURDER CASE TO GO TO TRIAL IN PLACER COUNTY IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF A JURY. 23 YEAR OLD CARSON CHIU FACES SECOND DEGREE MURDER AND TWO DRUG POSSESSION CHARGES. THIS IS THE FIRST DEATH OF 20 YEAR OLD KATE WEBB IN 2021. THE COUSIN OF SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS PLAYER LOGAN WEBB. THANKS FOR JOINING US AT SIX. I’M TY STEELE AND I’M EDIE LAMBERT. NOW, THE FIRST MURDER TRIAL ENDED IN A MISTRIAL. EARLIER THIS YEAR. SO NOW PROSECUTORS HAVE BEEN PRESENTING EVIDENCE IN THIS NEW TRIAL FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS IN THE AUBURN COURTROOM. KCRA 3’S MICHELLE BANDUR IS THERE FOR US. SO, MICHELLE, WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT TODAY? WELL, EDDIE, THE CASE WENT TO THE JURY OF EIGHT MEN AND FOUR WOMEN. ABOUT TWO HOURS AGO. AND THEY DELIBERATED FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE JUDGE SENT THEM HOME FOR THE DAY. BUT EARLIER IN THE COURTROOM, ATTORNEYS ON BOTH SIDES HAD ONE LAST CHANCE TO PLEAD THEIR CASE TO THE JURY. THE JURORS WILL DECIDE IF CARSON CHIU KILLED KATE WEBB BY SELLING HIM A PILL THAT HE KNEW WAS LACED WITH FENTANYL. CARSON CHIU STANDS AS THE JURY DECIDING HIS FATE. WALKS INTO THE COURTROOM DURING CLOSING ARGUMENTS, THE PLACER COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE LAID OUT THE CASE, CALLING THE DEFENDANT KATE WEBB’S DRUG DEALER. THEY SHOWED VIDEOS, THEY SAY CARSON CHIU RECORDED FOR SOCIAL MEDIA SHOWING HIS PILLS ALLEGEDLY FOR SALE, AND THE MONEY HE ALLEGEDLY MAKES SELLING THOSE PILLS. PROSECUTORS SAY CHIU AND WEBB AGREED TO A DRUG DEAL ON DECEMBER 3RD, 2021 AT SHOES ROSEVILLE APARTMENT. AROUND 4 P.M., GROCERY STORE SECURITY VIDEO SHOWS WEBB AN HOUR AFTER PURCHASING THE PILL, WALKING INTO THE BATHROOM. HIS BODY WAS FOUND HOURS LATER AT 1030, DEAD FROM FENTANYL POISONING. DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY DEVIN PORTILLO TOLD THE JURY. KATE WEBB PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE, BUT WE ARE NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT, NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT KATE WEBB’S STRUGGLE OF ADDICTION, BUT WE’RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THOSE WHO PROFIT OVER IT. THE ONE PERSON WHO CHOOSES PROFIT OVER LIFE IS CARSON CHIU. BUT CHU’S ATTORNEY, PLACER COUNTY PUBLIC DEFENDER ROWAN BEASLEY, SAYS PROSECUTORS ARE ANSWERING TO THE PRESSURE OF THE COMMUNITY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE FENTANYL PROBLEM. HE TOLD THE JURY THIS IS A NEW STRATEGY THAT DOESN’T FIT. IT’S DIFFERENT THAN GIVING SOMEONE RAT POISON. WHEN YOU GIVE RAT POISON, THERE IS ONLY ONE OUTCOME DEATH. THEY WANT TO MAKE HIM SEEM LIKE PABLO ESCOBAR. THIS IS NOT A KINGPIN. THE JURY IS CONSIDERING SECOND DEGREE MURDER OR A LESSER CHARGE OF INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER, AS WELL AS TWO FELONY DRUG POSSESSION CHARGES. AND THERE WASN’T AN EMPTY SEAT IN THE COURTROOM WITH FAMILY MEMBERS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE DEFENDANT AND THE VICTIM LISTENING INTENTLY TO THOSE CLOSING ARGUMENTS. TODAY, THE JURY WILL BE BACK FOR DELIBERATIONS TOMORROW MORNING, REPORTING LI
