I'm back in the courtroom today covering week two in the trial for Dazrine Chagoya-Williams, the Kyle mom who allegedly murdered her nearly 2-year-old son Mason.
First this morning, Hon. Judge Bill Henry will decide whether a conversation that reportedly happened between Chagoya-Williams’ mother and Stevie should or should not be brought before jurors.
Linda Chagoya said Stevie told her: “Dazrine had nothing to do with it” in jail.
Judge Henry overrules the state's objection. The statement will be admitted. He acknowledges this is a very complicated legal decision.
Linda Chagoya will be back on the stand first this morning.
State is grilling Linda about why she didn't a) respond to the state's subpoena until the state reached out to her b) report the alleged jail statement by Stevie to the state before trial c) get concerned about bruising on baby Dazrine's ribs even after Mason's CPS case
Rudy Delgado is the state's next witness even though court records show his subpoena was unserved.
Delgado is Chagoya-Williams' step father.
Delgado testified that Dazrine called him before she called 911 to tell him Mason hadn't waken up after his nap. He said he told her to hang up and call 911.
He described Dazrine as peaceable, nurturing and patient.
Shannon Dougrey, a pediatric nurse practitioner, is the state's next witness -- signaling the likely end of testimony from family members.
She worked at CommuniCare in Kyle. She was Mason's primary care provider.
In early December, records show Chagoya-Williams brought Mason in for constipation. Nothing was noted aside from the constipation.
In late December, she brought him in again for a checkup. There were no red flags.
He was removed from the parents by CPS in January.
More records.
-Feb. 14, 2018: Chagoya-Williams brings Mason in for a checkup, he is found to be healthy.
-Feb 21, 2018: Chagoya-Williams brings Mason in for a cough. No major red flags, Dougrey testified. This was the last visit.
-July 4, 2018: Mason dies.
There were several appointments that Mason would have missed between Feb. 21 and July 4, Dougrey testified.
Lunch break until 1:10.
Here's what court records show as the state's witness list, by the way. Not a lot of names left on the list as people who have yet to testify:
[I can't copy/paste this]
Among those still to testify:
-Marion Forbes (Dell Children's)
-Suzanna Dana (will present the autopsy)
-Dallas Skeens (CPS)
Those will likely align with previous testimony: https://txcourts.gov/media/1448069/03-20-00114-cv-opinion.pdf
-Baby Dazrine's adoptive dad testified in Stevie's trial, may again
