Texas Public Radio | TPR • • nation
Key Points:
- Velma Lisa Duran, sister of slain Uvalde teacher Irma Linda Garcia, is struggling emotionally during the trial of former Uvalde school police officer Adrian Gonzales, who faces child endangerment charges related to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting.
- The trial is held in Corpus Christi due to concerns Gonzales could not receive a fair trial in Uvalde; Duran finds it difficult to cope with courtroom details, including mentions of her sister’s classroom and autopsy photos of victims.
- No criminal charges have been filed for the deaths of the two teachers, including Duran’s sister, which has deeply affected Duran, who feels her sister’s death is being overlooked in the legal process.
