@MsMarple - just wondering IF there might be the next court hearing date yet?

TIA! :)
Here’s a very long list of events- there’s a second page that I didn’t copy. Apologies for the length. On 11/09 there were a series of motions and subpoenas.

In any case the next trial date is the 18th. This may finally be it.

Thank you! And I do not believe this IS the trial date. I believe the next hearing, as all the rest have been - SET trial date... And I see he had another arraignment - ?? - first one was on 6/9/21.
 

@Niner

One of two trials began for a San Antonio man charged with injury to a child and capital murder in separate cases.

In 2018, Terrence Harper was arrested and charged with injury to a child causing serious bodily injury, after it was alleged he severely injured his 4-month-old son.

That case led to police reopening a 2012 child death case where a 5-month-old allegedly died in Harper’s care. He was later charged with capital murder in that case.

The injury to a child case is the focus of Harper’s first trial.

The state on Monday gave opening statements, and special prosecutor Therese Huntzinger laid out the case to the jury.

@Niner
I'm on my laptop now instead of my phone which is a pita to deal with. Okay, there are 2 cases - I know you know this I'm just trying to keep it organized for myself, lol:

#2018CR13416
INJURY TO CHILD-SBI-INTENT/KNO

Victim here is Trace from July 2018.

This trial appears to be going on despite the events log on Bexar courts.

The other one is #2018CR13417
CAPITAL MURDER-CHILD UNDER TEN

Victim here is Ethan Rodriguez from 2012.

From an article posted today:

A rare procedural move played out in a Bexar County Courthouse Thursday in a trial of a man accused of severely injuring his child.

All week Terrence Harper has been on trial for an injury to a child charge due to an incident in 2018 that left his four-month-old son permanently disabled.

On Thursday, testimony and evidence were permitted by the judge on the case about a separate 2012 incident in which Harper was charged with capital murder.

Typically, evidence from a pending case is not talked about or permitted until a sentencing phase of a trial.

Harper is currently awaiting trial involving the death of a five-month-old baby. Harper is charged with capital murder in that case.

The testimony and evidence were allowed by the judge in the injury to child trial because of legal rule 404 B which allows evidence that might prove things like motive, opportunity, intent or preparation.

About seven witnesses left to testify and the trial is expected to go into next week and possibly the week after Thanksgiving.

11/17/22 Thursday, Trial Day 2: On Thursday, testimony & evidence were permitted by the judge on the case about a separate 2012 incident in which Harper was charged with capital murder. San Antonio Fire Dept. paramedic Carlos Segura testified that in 2012 he responded to a call of an unresponsive child that was concerning to him. Harper was questioned about that incident since he was with the baby at the time the incident happened but wasn’t initially charged. The interrogation footage from 2012 was also admitted & shown to the jury Thursday.
The special prosecutors on the case still have about seven witnesses left to testify and the trial is expected to go into next week and possibly the week after Thanksgiving.
