Overview
- Testimony resumed in Corpus Christi with former school officer Adrian Gonzales maintaining a not guilty plea to 29 child endangerment counts tied to the 2022 Robb Elementary attack.
- Defense attorney Nico LaHood used a neon orange foam handgun and an eight-foot foam board during cross-examination of DPS Ranger Scott Swick to question how officers should approach unseen gunfire.
- Texas Ranger Terry Snyder testified about shell casings in the school hallway, while prosecutors pressed that active-shooter doctrine requires moving toward the gunfire even when the shooter is not visible.
- Last week jurors saw graphic crime-scene and autopsy photos and heard emotional accounts from teachers and a victim’s mother, and the judge struck one teacher’s testimony after discrepancies and denied a mistrial.
- Prosecutors allege Gonzales failed to confront the gunman in the opening minutes; the defense says he never saw the shooter, radioed for help, and helped evacuate students, with survivor Arnulfo Reyes expected to testify as proceedings continue.
