BOLIVIA—Brunswick County jurors have completed their second day of deliberation in the first-degree murder trial of Craig Bryant.
Jurors had not come to a verdict at about 5 p.m. Friday, and deliberations were scheduled to resume Monday morning.
For the past 25 days, Bryant has been on trial for the murder of Adam Bradshaw, a 34-year-old husband, father and Realtor from Shallotte.
District Attorney Jon David and Assistant District Attorney Lee Bollinger contend Bryant lured Bradshaw to an abandoned home near Ocean Isle Beach, where he shot Bradshaw to death and left his body in nearby woods on April 26, 2008.
Lora Moultrie, Bryant’s alleged co-conspirator turned state’s witness, testified against Bryant. Originally charged with first-degree murder, Moultrie pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last year in exchange for her testimony.
David said he planned to seek sentencing for Moultrie after the jury reaches a verdict on Bryant’s case.
If convicted, Bryant faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
