Closing arguments set in former Uvalde officer’s trial over actions during 2022 school attack
Adrian Gonzales faces 29 counts of child endangerment for allegedly failing to act during the 2022 Robb Elementary shooting that killed 21, with trial closing arguments expected this week.
- On Wednesday, jurors will hear closing arguments in the trial of Adrian Gonzales, a former Uvalde schools police officer, after prosecutors rested following nine days and 36 witnesses.
- After defense concerns about bias, the trial was moved to Corpus Christi, where Adrian Gonzales faces 29 counts of child abandonment tied to the May 24, 2022 Robb Elementary School, Uvalde attack.
- Body camera evidence and photos showed damage inside classrooms and officers' movements, with Special prosecutor Bill Turner highlighting the critical three minutes between arrival and entry where Gonzales was among the first trying to reach the classroom.
- A conviction could send Adrian Gonzales to state jail for six months to two years and set a rare precedent on police accountability for failing to stop a criminal act.
- Only Gonzales and former Uvalde schools police chief Pete Arredondo have been charged, and Turner urged jurors to convict while Goss warned a verdict demands officers be `perfect`, Jason Goss said.
