Murder Trial Next Week

Next week Christopher North will be in court on a murder charge. The shooting that killed 21 year old Austin David, in the middle of the day, and at a busy intersection in Abilene, did get and has gotten lots of media attention, and no doubt it will be the same during the trial. In case you did not hear about it.
Austin David and Chris North were involved in some sort of altercation traveling on Sales Blvd. When they got to South 14Th, the way I understand it, David got out of his car and North got out of his truck. Not sure who pulled a gun first but at some point both got in their vehicles and North backed up into the car David was driving and pushed him onto the median in the middle of the road. Both got out of their cars again, that's when North shot David and killed him. North says self defence. Was it? We may find out after the trial is over.
Our plan is to sit in the court room and update you via Twitter, Facebook and bigcountryhomepage.com. We will be doing live updates at noon, 5, and 6,and wrapping up the days events at 10.
This is one of the biggest cases I have covered in my career, and not only does the outcome involve justice for the David family or North, however the jury sees it, when it is all over, but I think the trial will also involve some gun control talk. We will see, but I know I am not the only one interested in this case. The court may move the trial into a bigger room because they expect others will have and interest and may come and watch the proceedings.
