Justice Delayed in Uvalde: Officer's Trial Begins

A trial has started for a police officer accused of not protecting kids during the Uvalde school shooting. Many officers were there, but it took 77 minutes for them to stop the shooter. The officer on trial, Gonzales, is one of only two facing charges for not acting faster. His trial could last up to three weeks. Gonzales' lawyer says he tried to save kids that day. But the charges say he didn't do enough to stop the shooter. The trial was moved to Corpus Christi because people think Gonzales can't get a fair trial in Uvalde. The town is still full of reminders of the shooting, like memorials and murals of the victims.The shooter, Salvador Ramos, was obsessed with violence before the attack. Many people think more officers should be charged for not acting sooner. Families of the victims are still hurting and want justice. Getting a conviction might be hard. Juries often don't convict officers for not acting. In a similar case in Florida, the officer was found not guilty. The trial is important for the families of the victims. They want the jury to know their loved ones had big, strong families.
