A Galveston area state senator is working to pass a law that would allow crime victims and immediate family members to view the evidence in certain criminal cases that have not yet gone to trial.
The bill was filed by State Sen. Mayes Middleton/ Dist. 11 and comes with the backing of loved ones of those killed and wounded during the Santa Fe High School mass shooting in 2018.For family members of those devastated by the Santa Fe massacre, a trial has not happened because the accused shooter remains incompetent.
Steve and Ann Perkins were married for nearly 30 years and he said he lays awake at night wondering about her final moments. Middleton filed this bill last session but it didn’t make it to a full vote. Galveston County District Attorney Jack Roady’s office is prosecuting this case and he supports the passage of this bill.
