是否有罪需要陪审团决定

Legal Proceedings and Aftermath

• Criminal Trial: Officer Grubb was indicted on murder, involuntary manslaughter, and felonious assault charges in August 2024. His trial concluded in November 2025, when a Franklin County jury found him not guilty on all remaining counts.
• Defense and Prosecution Arguments: The defense argued Grubb's actions were "objectively reasonable" as he feared for his life when the car moved toward him and felt it hit his legs. The prosecution argued the use of force was unjustified and that department policy instructed officers to move out of the path of a vehicle rather than fire their weapon.
• Internal Review: In January 2026, a police use-of-force review board determined that Officer Grubb did not violate department policy.
• Civil Lawsuit: Young's family has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the township, the police chief, Officer Grubb, and Kroger. The family's attorney has called the outcome of the criminal trial an "American tragedy" and vowed to continue the fight in civil court.
