Opening statements were supposed to be delivered on Monday, but jurors did not show up after the judge said there is "an ongoing issue that must be addressed."Opening statements were supposed to be delivered Monday in the murder trial for A.J. Armstrong, the now 23-year-old accused of killing his parents in their southwest Houston home back in 2016. The judge announced the case will now be delayed until July 31.
There was a long discussion between prosecutors and defense attorneys in the judge's chambers. We weren't privy to it as it was super secretive, and the only thing the judge said publicly in the courtroom was, "an issue has developed outside the court's control."In addition, because Judge Johnson ruled for Armstrong's third capital murder trial, video of what happens in the courtroom will not be allowed until closing arguments and the verdict.
Picking the jury took three weeks. ABC13 listened to more than 150 hours of in-depth, one-on-one questioning. They have 16 people -- 12 jurors plus four alternates - but the judge initially told them they'd only be on this case until the end of June, at the latest.The trial is expected to take between two and three weeks.
If there are more delays, something to consider is how that will affect the jury, but we won't know the answer to that until the trial starts.
