Overview
- Harris County Judge Detoto denied bail on Wednesday for 18-year-old Aundre Matthews, who is charged with murder in the Dec. 17 death of 16-year-old Andrew Meismer.
- Investigators say the confrontation began over a $21 THC vape pen and that Meismer died from a neck puncture consistent with scissors.
- Goose Creek CISD investigator Cory Scott testified to extensive blood in a science classroom and said a teacher had to break a chokehold to separate the students.
- Prosecutors introduced crime-scene photographs and school disciplinary records over defense objections, and the judge described the images as disturbing.
- Defense attorneys argued evidence was disclosed late and emphasized Matthews’ special-education status and lack of criminal history, while surveillance footage showed the teens appeared similar in size.
