The trial of a man accused of killing a Houston police sergeant moved into day two, where the defendant's moves after the deadly shooting were in focus. The defense also put into question whether the victim followed protocol when he engaged in a gun battle while off duty.On the second day of the trial for Sgt. Sean Rios' accused killer, defense attorneys pointed out that Rios was not investigated for potential wrongdoing to the same level as the suspect.
During the questioning, it was learned that investigators did get copies of phone records for Soliz, his girlfriend, and Rios. Prior to the shooting, Looney said Rios was having lunch with a woman named Jerri Tran. They did not indicate how she knew Rios, but the witness list on the district clerk's site lists her as a peace officer. Investigators did not get a search warrant for her phone records or speak to her.
Resnick said no when Looney asked the detective if anyone on the North Freeway made a 911 call about an incident prior to the shootout. Sanders said they can either intervene or not. If they choose not to, they have to make themselves the "best possible witness." If they choose not to, he said they are governed by the same regulations as if they were on duty.
