JURY STILL OUT IN FATAL BPD CRASH

A Bakersfield jury is deliberating for a second day on whether a man charged with second degree murder is responsible for the death of a police officer during a chase. The defense for Julian Hernandez argued Wednesday that pursuits happen all the time, prosecutors say Hernandez drove over 100mph to get away from Officer David Nelson in 2015, who hit a wall at Mt. Vernon Avenue and Panorama Drive.
