Description: The prosecution came out swinging in the Adrian Gonzales trial today. Special prosecutor Bill Turner delivered an emotional opening statement in Corpus Christi, laying out a timeline that showed the former Uvalde school cop allegedly knew exactly where the gunman was — before he even entered Robb Elementary — and failed to act.Turner described how coach Melodye Flores told Gonzales where the shooter was heading. He described the gunman firing into classroom 102. Then 104. Then entering the building. After each moment, Turner repeated: "Adrian Gonzales remains." The prosecutor choked up as he told jurors Gonzales only went inside "after the damage was done."Defense attorneys pushed back hard. Jason Goss told the jury Gonzales thought he was responding to a vehicle accident with an armed man — not a school shooting. Nico LaHood called the massacre "pure evil" but argued his client is being scapegoated for a systemic failure involving nearly 400 officers. The defense says Gonzales was among the first to enter the building and came under fire from gunman Salvador Ramos.Gonzales faces 29 counts of child endangerment. Jury selection took 11 hours. The panel includes 11 women and five men. The trial is expected to last two weeks.#UvaldeTrial #AdrianGonzales #OpeningStatements #RobbElementary #TrueCrime #Uvalde #SchoolShooting #TexasTrial #Justice #BreakingJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
