SAN ANTONIO – Monday marked a busy return to court proceedings in Bexar County, with all 10 district courtrooms active. Multiple cases got underway, including two murder trials.
In the 175th District Court, Raul Trevino, 21, appeared for the start of his capital murder trial.
Trevino was arrested in October 2023 and is accused of fatally shooting two people and injuring three others during a house party on the South Side.
A jury pool of 120 people was called in for the case. While prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty, Trevino faces an automatic life sentence in prison if convicted.
Meanwhile, in the 186th District Court, jury selection was ongoing in the case against David Grejtak, who is accused of murdering his neighbor, Lydia Morales, 44, during what authorities said was an ongoing dispute.
Grejtak told investigators he acted in self-defense, but surveillance footage reportedly conflicted with his statement, according to court documents.
If found guilty, Grejtak could face anywhere from five years to life in prison.
Testimony in both trials is scheduled to begin Tuesday morning.
