Jurors See Graphic Photos and Autopsy Findings in Uvalde Officer’s Trial

Prosecutors say Adrian Gonzales ignored active-shooter training during a 77-minute delay.

Overview

  • Jurors heard from Dr. Garrett Phillips that one child suffered 13 gunshot wounds and two others suffered 12.
  • Former Texas Ranger Juan Torrez walked the panel through images of Classroom 111 showing large blood pools, spent casings, bullet paths, drag marks, and the rifle found in a closet.
  • Senior Judge Sid Harle warned spectators about “shocking and gruesome” photos and admitted most of the images over defense objections.
  • Gonzales is charged with 29 counts of abandoning or endangering a child, a state jail felony punishable by up to two years if convicted.
  • Investigations cited a 77-minute wait and a response involving nearly 400 officers before a tactical team killed the gunman, and former chief Pete Arredondo faces a separate trial.
