Bench trials an option to address case backlog in Bexar County courts

SAN ANTONIO โ€“ As the COVID-19 pandemic approaches one year, the resulting backlog of cases in the Bexar County Criminal Justice System continues to grow since an emergency order from the Texas Supreme Court prohibits in-person jury trials. One option available to both the state and the defense to resolve cases is a bench trial in which a judge serves as both the judge and jury. โ€œI think most judges would prefer to have bench trials during this pandemic.โ€J. Charles Bunk, a seasoned criminal defense attorney who has also served as a prosecutor for over a dozen years, has been involved in bench trials on both the defense and prosecution. An agreement from the state and the defense is necessary for a bench trial to be conducted. RELATED: In-person jury trials in Bexar County delayed until at least April 1

Judge will continue mission to help juveniles in new role

SAN ANTONIO โ€“ When she was elected to the 289th Juvenile District Court bench last November, Jackie Valdes said the new position allows her to continue her mission as a juvenile prosecutor. โ€œIt was always from the perspective of what is in the best interest of this child to rehabilitate,โ€ Valdes said Monday. Valdes said her mother, Senior District Judge Maria Teresa โ€œTessaโ€ Herr, encouraged her to seek election. โ€œI felt like the citizens of Bexar County should have a judge who was invested and knowledgeable and cares enough to show up,โ€ Valdes said. โ€œIt just amazes me that she ends up as a judge in a juvenile court where she still can do what she loves and that is to help kids.โ€Related: State district court judge conducts inspection of juvenile facilities in Bexar County

Federal judge rejects efforts by GOP activists to invalidate nearly 127,000 votes in Houston

HOUSTON (AP) โ€“ A federal judge on Monday rejected another last-ditch Republican effort to invalidate nearly 127,000 votes in Houston because the ballots were cast at drive-thru polling centers established during the pandemic. The lawsuit was brought by conservative Texas activists who have railed against expanded voting access in Harris County, where a record 1.4 million early votes have already been cast. Another 20,000 or more voters were expected to use drive-thru polling locations Tuesday, said Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins, the countyโ€™s top elections official. Harris County offered 10 drive-thru locations as an option for its nearly 5 million residents amid worries of spreading the coronavirus. The Texas Supreme Court, which is controlled entirely by Republicans, rejected an identical lawsuit last month and on Sunday refused to invalidate the votes already cast.

Judge dismisses charges in Southeast Side manslaughter case due to lack of probable cause

SAN ANTONIO โ€“ Manslaughter charges against a 22-year-old man, who was previously suspected of being involved in a deadly shooting at a Southeast Side apartment complex, were dismissed after a judge ruled there was a lack of probable cause in the case, according to Bexar County records. Witnesses told investigators they saw Jose Maria Galindo run from a bedroom at the Pecan Valley Apartments after hearing a gunshot on Jan. 22. Investigators arrested Galindo in La Salle County soon after, but because a judge did not find enough reasonable grounds for the manslaughter charge, the case was dismissed. Galindo is still in the Bexar County Jail on a charge of assault of a public servant, according to records. The Bexar County Sheriffโ€™s Office says the bond in the assault case was increased to $15,000.
