Judge Dismisses DA Motions, Austin Police Cases Continue

About this episode

A Travis County judge dismissed motions against the district attorney, but felony charges against three Austin police officers related to the 2020 protests continue.

Travis County Judge Dismisses Motions Against DA, But Felony Charges Against Austin Police Officers Persist In a recent development, a Travis County judge dismissed motions against the district attorney and his top staff, clearing them of any criminal allegations. However, the felony charges against three Austin police officers—Kyle Felton, Chance Bretches, and Jeffrey Teng—continue to move forward due to their actions during the 2020 protests. The cases stem from the chaos downtown six years ago, when officers used force amid the crowds. Defense teams allege that the DAs office held secret talks and withheld key evidence, such as details on the munitions fired that night. Prosecutors maintain that everything is transparent and available through open records requests. A motion to dismiss the officers cases is still pending, and the judge has ordered a full timeline on when the city and DA knew about problems with those protest munitions, setting the stage for further legal drama. With no date set for the next hearing, this Austin legal battle shows no signs of slowing down. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn. Advertise on DNN…
