Overview

• The jury began deliberations Tuesday afternoon after closing arguments in Harris County.
• Prosecutors say synchronized video, audio and 3D models show Tony Earls fired all 10 shots, with expert Celestina Rossi identifying the seventh as the fatal round.
• The defense presented a trauma-based fight-or-flight account through psychologist Dr. Sasha Lambert and argued a reasonable mistake of fact about the pickup.
• Defense reconstructionist Andrew Taravella disputed the state’s audio analysis, saying it was reasonable to count up to 15 shots rather than 10.
• Police have not identified the ATM robber and reported no evidence he fired; jurors will consider only manslaughter, self-defense claims, and a penalty range of two to 20 years with probation possible.
