The jury trial for the State vs. Ashbaugh continued on July 11, 2025, in the 187th District Court, presided over by Judge Stephanie Boyd. The proceedings focused on the examination of evidence and witness testimonies related to the case.
During the session, the defense presented State's Exhibit Number 66 for inspection, which was confirmed by the witness as an accurate depiction of their conversation with Detective Martinez. The witness affirmed that the exhibit had not been altered or changed in any way.
The questioning then shifted to the witness's statements made during their interview with Detective Martinez. The witness confirmed that they had been on O'Connor Road following behind an individual named Tyler on the night in question. However, when asked if they had mentioned being at a bar with Tyler before picking him up at his parents' house, the witness denied this claim.
The defense continued to probe the witness about their observations of Tyler driving on O'Connor Road, seeking to clarify the details of their interactions and movements that night. The court proceedings highlighted the importance of the witness's testimony in establishing a timeline and context for the events being examined.
As the trial progresses, the focus remains on the accuracy of witness statements and the evidence presented, with further discussions expected in subsequent sessions. The court aims to unravel the complexities of the case through careful examination of all testimonies and exhibits.
