The trial of Austin Police Officer Christopher Taylor, accused of murdering Mike Ramos while on-duty, will resume Oct. 16 – but it may not resume in Travis County.
The Blackwell-Thurman Criminal Justice Center on May 23, the second day of jury selection in Christopher Taylor's trial, accused of murdering Black and Latino Austinite Mike Ramos while on-duty, will resume Oct. 16 – but it may not resume in Travis County.
After the new Taylor trial date and jury selection terms were agreed to, Taylor’s defense counsel announced their intention to file a motion by June 16, formally requesting the trial be moved out of Travis County. Once the motion is filed, state prosecutors will have until July 14 to respond to the venue change arguments put forth by the defense. But Blazey acknowledged that timing was tentative and subject to change based on when the motion is filed and how comprehensive it is.
