Jury Now Deliberating In Uvalde Police Officer Case

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — A Texas jury is deliberating whether to convict one of the first police officers on the scene of the deadly Robb Elementary School attack in Uvalde. Special prosecutor Bill Turner said Wednesday that a conviction would send a message that law enforcement must fulfill their duty to protect when a gunman threatens children. Jason Goss, an attorney for Adrian Gonzales, began his closing statements by telling jurors his client wasn’t responsible for the attack that killed 19 children and two teachers. Gonzales has pleaded not guilty to 29 counts of child abandonment or endangerment.
