The jury trial for the State vs. Beltran continued on July 23, 2025, in the 187th District Court, presided over by Judge Stephanie Boyd. The session focused on the admission of evidence and witness testimonies related to the case.

During the proceedings, the State introduced exhibit number 2, which was a key piece of evidence. The defense had previously raised objections, but these were overruled by the judge, allowing the exhibit to be admitted into evidence. The exhibit included a tattoo on the back of the neck of the accused, which was identified by witness Miss Martinez. She confirmed that she had seen the tattoo in person before viewing it on surveillance video from the incident.

The court also discussed the timeline of events, with Miss Martinez stating that she first viewed the surveillance footage on August 4, 2023, shortly after the offense occurred. This footage was displayed on monitors throughout the store where the incident took place.

As the session progressed, the defense raised objections regarding the presentation of the exhibit while questioning the witness. Judge Boyd allowed the jurors to view the exhibit before the defense began their cross-examination.

The trial is set to continue as both sides prepare to present their arguments and evidence. The outcome of this case remains to be seen as the jury deliberates on the presented facts.
