Summary
The first day of the Adrian Gonzales trial ended with the judge canceling Wednesday's proceedings and sending the jury home. The reason: a potential Brady violation. The defense says prosecutors failed to disclose key information from a witness, calling it a "trial by ambush." The Uvalde County DA was even sworn in and testified she was caught off guard by her own witness.
Before the trial derailed, jurors heard emotional testimony. Funeral home employee Gilbert Limones described the gunman firing into classroom windows while Gonzales' patrol car allegedly drove past. His frantic 911 calls played in court. Teacher Stephanie Hale told jurors she armed herself with scissors and planned "to fight if we need to." When they evacuated, the fourth graders had done the same — arming themselves with safety scissors.
Special prosecutor Bill Turner laid out a devastating timeline, repeating "Adrian Gonzales remains" as he described the shooter firing into classrooms while the first officer on scene allegedly stayed put. The defense countered that Gonzales faced chaos and confusion and did what he could.
Gonzales faces 29 counts of child endangerment. The trial's future is now uncertain.
