Testimony Begins in tampering trial of former Wilco Sheriff, county attorneyThe first day of testimony got underway in the felony trial of two former Williamson
Heat Advisory for Milam County from noon to 9 pm Wednesday. Heat index values up to 108 are possible. Stay cool!The first day of testimony got underway in the felony trial of two former Williamson County officials accused of destroying footage of Javier Ambler's 2019 in-custody death.
During opening statements, prosecutors explained that what will be important to the jury is the timeline of events. On the other side, the defense says their clients are being made into the fall guys in a case where there was no conspiracy. “They're going to basically say you're going to have this person that's going to testify about this, you're going to have another person that's going to testify about this” Cardenas-Wittenstein said.
The felony charges stem from the deletion of unaired footage from the now-canceled reality show 'Live PD' which shows the March 2019 in-custody death of Javier Ambler. He died after a chase that started in Williamson County and ended in Austin.“What you want to do as a defense attorney is get up there and poke the holes in the minds of the jury before anything starts, so that when they are hearing that testimony, they already have both perspectives in their mind.
