Attorneys for Austin police officer Christopher Taylor cite media coverage, juror intimidation and Taylor is accused of shooting and killing Mike Ramos in Southeast Austin in 2020.
Taylor is accused of shooting and killing Mike Ramos in Southeast Austin in 2020.
In a 324-page motion filed July 25, Taylor's attorneys claim his case cannot be fairly tried in Travis County due to pretrial media coverage and social media posts, the attempted jury selection proceedings in May which resulted in a mistrial, comments from local politicians and political candidates, and attempted intimidation of prospective jurors.
Attached to the motion were also pages of affidavits and unsworn declarations from Travis County residents and attorneys supporting the defense's assertion. The motion also suggests that the Court move the case to San Saba County or Comal County, as these are the only counties outside the Austin media market that lie within adjoining judicial districts as in accordance with the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.All the news you need to know, every day
