Jury Gets Winkler County Sheriff Case Today [VIDEO]
As this goes to press the attorneys in the criminal trial of Winkler County Sheriff Robert Roberts are delivering their closing arguments to the jury. Closing arguments and jury instructions should be completed by mid-day and once completed the jury will be given the case for deliberation. Law Med would expect a verdict before days end but juries can be unpredictable. But let’s face it…this is not a complicated case.
Jurors certainly will not have to spend much time sifting through the evidence presented by the defense. Yesterday’s defense witnesses spent the morning telling the jury what a great guy the sheriff is. Defense witnesses Friday did more of the same with some ‘Anne Mitchell is a hard ass’ theme ribboned throughout. The defense rested its case, such that it was, around 11am yesterday. After some bickering amongst the attorneys as to when closing arguments should begin, the judge left it up to the jury whether they wanted to continue yesterday afternoon or get a fresh start this morning. They opted for an early dismissal.
Roberts is charged with two third-degree felony counts of misusing official information and retaliation, as well as a misdemeanor official oppression count. If convicted he faces up to 10 years in jail. Get all the information on the case you could possibly want by visiting our Winkler County Page.
