center lane there to get by. So
you can expect backups and
already very congested area.
We'll keep monitoring this for
you and let you know when it
clears. Breaking news that's
happening this morning is armed
and dangerous is how authorities
the center of a manhunt
happening right now they're
accused of shooting and gravely
injuring a deputy during a
traffic stop in northeast Harris
County last night, and you may
have gotten a blue alert on your
phone. That's when someone is
wanted for killing or seriously
injuring a law enforcement
officer on the left is Tehran
Green and on the right James
Green. It's unclear if the two
are related now overnight at the
Cities found this blue Ford
escape. They believe the men
were in it was found in an
apartment garage on air text
That's about 10 miles away from
where the shooting happened
around 7 30 last night on
Homestead near the East decks.
Now 29 year old deputy, we know
shot at least twice in the
stomach undergoing surgery
overnight now at last check this
morning, said to be in critical
condition but stable. Now, if
you have seen the two men that
we were showing you or know
where they are, you are being
told, Do not approach them
directly. Instead, you want to
call 911. That's a map there of
where everything transpired last
night just to give you some
perspective. If you're in that
area, you may have seen
something in the overnight
hours. You know, after seven
years and three murder trials,
AJ Armstrong Jr. Now a convicted
murderer for killing his parents
in their Bellaire home as they
slept when he was 16, the now
father and husband sentenced to
life in prison. With the
possibility for parole in 40
years after the ruling
Armstrong's defense team and
prosecutors spoke to the media.
The other thing is, the
prosecution knew everything that
we were going to do. Um and you
know, it's very difficult to do
it twice. It's almost impossible
evidence had an impact. In this
case. That evidence is
ridiculous. Um AJ filed a
federal lawsuit. They will
pursue that aggressively. Um And
about that play out as well.
Referring there to the matter of
someone who we believed in. A
jury just found guilty of
walking into his bedroom of his
parents. And shooting them both
dead. If that doesn't require us
to give us our all and to give a
presentation that a jury can
honor and respect. Then I don't
know what does Armstrong has
senior legal analyst Chris
Tritico, joins us live in the
newsroom right now, Chris When
this third trial was starting,
there were a lot of questions.
What's going to be different
this time around? And clearly
they had that new blood evidence
that was found under sticker
that AJ War on his shirt when he
was being questioned. Was that
the turning point you think in
this case Well, I don't think
there's too many of us in the
criminal defense side of the bar
that don't find that evidence
suspect after seven years, um,
that Coming up this late in the
game just appears to be
suspected. And despite the John
Jordan's saying it didn't didn't
make any difference if it had
to. It's the only new element in
the case and so it had to make a
difference. Armstrong Juniors
team saying that they have filed
a lawsuit saying that that
evidence was planted if that
case ends up playing out that
they find yes. The evidence is
door for then Another Trial.
Well it appears that they didn't
object to the evidence coming in
in the in the criminal trial,
and so It won't be a direct
appeal in the criminal case on
appeal. If they win the civil
case, or they get a judgment in
the civil case that says it was
planted or something to that
effect. Then it can lead to what
we call a writ of habeas corpus
being filed. In the criminal
side. And that could lead to a
new trial. What else could be
argued in this appeal? Chris
Well, the main point on appeal
is going to be the sufficiency
two mistrials. The evidence in
this case is always been weak,
which is why they couldn't get a
conviction twice. And that that
the new blood evidence that that
that appears to be weakening of
itself. And so this case is
going to be on appeal is going
to be the sufficiency of the
evidence. Reversing a case on
sufficiency. Evidence is always
a very, very difficult thing to
do. And so he's got a tough road
to hold now on on on reversing
this case. Even even though he's
had two mistrials before our
