Bexar County District Attorney Joe D. Gonzales announced new windows on crime statistics are available on his office website as of Friday, including data showing a significant trial backlog brought on by COVID-19.
“I’m very concerned about the backlog,” Gonzales said in a Zoom video conference with reporters. “This will mean that people who are victims of crime in 2020 may have to wait much longer for justice than they, as well as I, would like.”
