DALLAS—Defense attorneys in the North Texas Antifa trial questioned whether an Alvarado police officer would have been shot in the neck if he had kept his gun holstered during a protest that turned violent.
Defense attorneys also laid the groundwork to exclude guns, body armor, and anti-government paraphernalia found in backpacks at the scene by accusing officers of illegally searching their clients’ backpacks, as the first week of the trial drew to a close on Feb. 27.
