AFTER WEEKS OF PRE-TRIAL HEARINGS, FORMER APD COP LEVI CHAVEZ'S MURDER TRIAL FINALLY STARTED MONDAY. OPENING STATEMENTS ARE SCHEDULED IN SANDOVAL COUNTY DISTRICT COURT … AND THERE ARE STILL CONCERNS THAT TOO MANY ON THE JURY KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THE CASE.
PRE TRIAL HEARINGS FOCUSED ON DOCUMENTS SEALED IN THE CHAVEZ CASE THAT MEDIA OUTLETS WANT OPENED.
CHAVEZ IS ACCUSED OF SHOOTING HIS WIFE, TERA, TO DEATH AT THEIR LOS LUNAS HOME IN 2007 WITH HIS DEPARTMENT ISSUED HANDGUN … THEN TRYING TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE.
