A lead attorney's illness and a juror's positive COVID test stretched out the recess already. Now, that attorney's health issues are forcing a nearly three-month postponement.
The trial for the man accused of shooting and killing a Houston police sergeant almost two years ago is experiencing yet another delay, according to officials.
Lead defense attorney Paul Looney experienced a medical emergency and had to undergo surgery during the break, according to a motion for a mistrial. It will take several months for him to recover. South Texas College of Law Professor Kenneth Williams said he could not think of a reason why the judge would not have granted the mistrial.
"It is certainly unreasonable to expect jurors to remember every detail about a case they haven't even been able to take notes about," Williams said. He went on to say that if Soliz is convicted, the many delays will make for a very strong case in an appeal.If everything goes according to plan, the judge told jurors trial should wrap up in two weeks' time.
