In the past three months, grand juries have indicted as many law enforcement officers in use-of-force cases under Garza s administration as they did within the entire four-year term of his predecessor, Margaret Moore. But even while his office is accruing indictments, experts say there is no guarantee that Garza and his prosecutors will see a courtroom victory. Generally, it is really difficult for prosecutors to get a conviction at trial in a police fatality or police brutality case, said Alissa Marque Heydari, a former prosecutor with the Manhattan district attorney s office. There are many reasons for that. A lot of laws are written such that it is difficult to secure a conviction. Juries can be reluctant to convict a police officer, for various reasons. It is difficult but not impossible to prevail at a trial.
A Travis County grand jury has indicted two Austin police officers on felony assault charges in connection with the violent arrest of a Black man nearly two years ago that had been cleared in a department investigation with no findings of wrongdoing against the officers.
The indictments of officers Chance Bretches and Gregory Gentry on aggravated assault by a public servant charges highlight a disparity in how Chief Brian Manley and his administration viewed the case and how new Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza and grand jurors evaluated it. Holding law enforcement officers accountable when they break the law is critical to rebuilding community trust, and also to the safety of our community, Garza said Friday.
