Soon after taking office, Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza repeated a campaign promise to investigate and prosecute those he deemed “powerful actors” who had too long eluded the criminal justice system.
Two months into his administration, Garza has turned his attention to last month’s power outages and an investigation that could possibly involve as witnesses or defendants Republican appointees of Gov. Greg Abbott, high-salaried government officials or energy executives.
Garza announced the wide-ranging criminal investigation into whether any person’s or agencies’ actions or inactions led to the outage the same day he got a fiery demand from a state legislator who flatly declared what happened “a crime.” The 41-year-old chief prosecutor received instant gratitude from the traumatized public who spent days shivering in their homes.
A Travis County grand jury has indicted two Austin police officers on felony assault charges in connection with the violent arrest of a Black man nearly two years ago that had been cleared in a department investigation with no findings of wrongdoing against the officers.
The indictments of officers Chance Bretches and Gregory Gentry on aggravated assault by a public servant charges highlight a disparity in how Chief Brian Manley and his administration viewed the case and how new Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza and grand jurors evaluated it. Holding law enforcement officers accountable when they break the law is critical to rebuilding community trust, and also to the safety of our community, Garza said Friday.
