Episode Details

Judge Sid Harle denied the defense's motion for a mistrial Wednesday in the trial of former Uvalde school officer Adrian Gonzales. But he didn't let the prosecution off easy — calling their failure to disclose key witness information "negligent."

The issue centers on teacher Stephanie Hale, who testified Tuesday that she saw the gunman on the south side of Robb Elementary — the same location where Gonzales was positioned. The defense says they were never told this information and accused prosecutors of a Brady violation. The Uvalde County DA was sworn in Tuesday and testified she was "in and out" of witness prep interviews.

Judge Harle ruled the failure wasn't intentional and didn't significantly affect the defense's strategy. But Hale will face more cross-examination Thursday, after which the judge will decide whether to strike her testimony entirely.

Families expressed frustration outside the courthouse. Manuel Rizo, uncle of victim Jackie Cazares, called the prosecution "incompetent." Trial continues Thursday in Corpus Christi.
