Oregon Girlfriend Murder Case Heads to Judge-Only Trial

Jerod Norman, who is accused of killing his girlfriend, 30-year-old Mariah King, waived his right to a jury trial alongside his attorney in court today. Instead, his case will be decided by a judge in a bench trial, with no jury. King was found dead on July 18, 2025, hanging inside a shop on the property where the couple lived. Investigators grew suspicious after an autopsy revealed an unfired rifle round lodged inside her body. Norman is charged with second-degree murder and abuse of a corpse, and his bench trial is currently scheduled to begin November 30.
