US EditionJudge cancels Wednesday testimony in Uvalde cop trial as defense says prosecutors withheld evidence
Judge Sid Harle orders a hearing on undisclosed testimony that may affect Adrian Gonzales's trial for child endangerment in the 2022 Uvalde school shooting case.
- Judge Sid Harle ordered a Wednesday hearing and told jurors not to come while lawyers seek a remedy after defense raised surprise testimony about the shooter's location during Tuesday's opening.
- Defense attorneys Jason Goss and Nico LaHood said prosecutors including special prosecutor Bill Turner failed to disclose a key detail from Hale's testimony, raising possible Brady disclosure violations after cross-examination revealed differences from prior statements.
- Hale said she saw the shooter in black near where Gonzales was positioned, including the teacher parking lot, and armed second graders with safety scissors while seeking cover on May 24, 2022.
- The judge could decide to grant a mistrial or order jurors to disregard Hale's testimony, and jurors are expected Thursday, so the ruling could immediately affect testimony.
- As one of the rare prosecutions of its kind, the trial could reshape expectations for law enforcement, with Gonzales facing 29 child endangerment charges tied to 19 children and 10 survivors.
