No trial date set for accused Walmart shooter Patrick Crusius
EL PASO, Texas – U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama did not set a trial date for the Cielo Vista Walmart shooting case.
During a hearing Wednesday, Judge David Guaderrama said he did not want to set the date without the federal government first determining whether this would be a death penalty case.
Judge Guaderrama wants to prevent the necessity of having to set two trial dates.
There will be another hearing to determine where this will be a death penalty case at which time they will set a new trial date.
The accused shooter, Patrick Crusius, was not in court. A federal court filing shows he waived his right to appear.
