Eyewitness News has also confirmed the exact date of his parole hearing 40 years in the future. He was sentenced to up to life in prison for killing his parents.
ABC13's Courtney Fischer takes you inside the AJ Armstrong case seven years after the murders of Dawn and Antonio Armstrong.AJ Armstrong appears to be on the move again to another Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility a week after records showed he had been transferred to a prison for the first time since a jury found him not guilty of murdering his parents.
A check of TDCJ records on Tuesday showed he is in the Beto Unit out in Tennessee Colony, which is located 178 miles north of Houston and just outside of Palestine in east Texas. State records show he was transferred on Saturday, Sept. 23.He had been taken to the Garza West Unit in Beeville early last week, a month after a Houston jury convicted him of killing Dawn and Antonio Armstrong Sr. back in 2016.
As indicated in ABC13's report from last Friday, the Garza Unit, which officials said serves as an inmate intake facility, wasn't confirmed to be where he would serve out a sentence upwards of life in prison.The maximum-security Beto Unit can house 3,150 inmates, according to the TDCJ website. Eyewitness News has also learned when his case will be reviewed for parole - Aug. 3, 2063, when Armstrong, who committed the acts at 16 years old and was convicted at 23, will be 63.at the end of the third trial against him., citing a slew of mishaps occurring before the final verdict, which warrants another trial.
The motion presented said there was an issue with a key witness named Officer Celestina Rossi, who is a blood spatter expert. Rossi was the woman who found the blood sample on Armstrong's T-shirt inside the crime lab, court documents read.Additionally, the motion states there was an alternative theory regarding who could have murdered the parents that was conferred outside of the presence of a jury that should've been permitted into evidence.
