Hernandez, 31, is accused of fatally shooting two hospital workers inside Methodist Dallas Medical Center before he was maimed himself. Jacqueline Pokuaa, a social worker, and Katie Flowers, a nurse, were killed by the gunfire.
Villatoro had just given birth to a baby boy. The next day, on Oct. 22, 2022, Hernandez, the newborn’s father, walked into Room 6 on the fourth floor carrying a beer. Defense attorneys for Hernandez implied the two had a contentious relationship and Hernandez was suspicious of whether he was the child’s father. Villatoro gave him an ultimatum as he drove her to the hospital days before: Ditch hisOn that Saturday morning about 11 a.m.
Meanwhile, the supervisory nurse, Stacey Smith, was checking in on the other 20 or so mothers and babies in the ward. A Methodist police officer — who is expected to testify — was outside Room 3, flipping through a notebook. Smith walked past the officer and into Room 11. She heard a pop and assumed it was a “Caution Wet Floor” sign falling over.
The jury of nine men and four women was picked Monday. Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot led jury selection for the prosecution, and has been seated behind prosecutors throughout testimony. When asked if any of the prospective jurors knew about the case, several of the more than 80-person pool raised their hands. A few told prosecutors they’d already decided on Hernandez’s guilt and could not be unbiased jurors.
