Judge Strikes Key Witness Testimony as Uvalde Officer Trial Moves Forward

The ruling addresses undisclosed changes in a teacher’s account, clearing the way for testimony to continue in Corpus Christi.

Overview

  • Judge Sid Harle ordered jurors to disregard former teacher Stephanie Hale’s testimony after finding undisclosed changes in her account.
  • He denied a defense motion for mistrial, calling the lapse negligent, and resumed proceedings Thursday with the jury present.
  • Jurors heard emotional accounts from staffers Emilia “Amy” Marin and Lynn Deming, listened to Marin’s 911 call, and viewed May 2022 video for the first time.
  • FBI Special Agent Huy Nguyen described forensic documentation showing gunfire outside the school before the shooter entered, without assessing police actions.
  • Adrian Gonzales has pleaded not guilty to 29 child endangerment counts over alleged inaction during the Robb Elementary attack and faces up to two years in state jail per count if convicted.
