Austin Police Department (APD) Officer Jeffrey Teng who was indicted last year following May 2020 racial justice protests received another indictment, according to court documents.
Nineteen Austin police officers have been indicted following protests in May 2020.
Ken Ervin and Doug O'Connell are the defense attorneys for Teng. They released a statement following the new indictment. "We're deeply disturbed by D.A. Garza’s decision to have his attorneys email us at noon on Memorial Day advising APD Officer Teng would be facing another grand jury in less than 24 hours. We were given only eight hours to submit any materials we wanted the grand jury to consider and decide whether Officer Teng would testify. We believe this grand jury presentation was scheduled far in advance of the notice we received and that this last-minute notice was intentional.
As we previously witnessed D.A. Garza claim unspecified "new evidence" forced the dismissal of APD Officer Gebhart’s indictment, we predict Officer Teng’s new indictment, as well as the other new APD indictments mentioned by the media, are ultimately a mechanism manufactured by D.A. Garza to avoid future criticism: We predict D.A.
APD Officer Jeff Teng is a well-respected law enforcement professional. Prior to serving our community he served in the United States Navy for five years, twice deploying to Iraq in support of Naval Special Warfare Command. His military awards include two Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medals, the Good Conduct Medal, and the Iraq Campaign Medal.
