Judge In El Paso Shooting Rampage Case Recuses Herself

The judge presiding over the case of a man accused of killing 22 people at an El Paso Walmart has recused herself because she knew one of the people who was killed. State District Judge Angie Juárez Barill announced her recusal from the capital murder case of Patrick Crusius, of Collin County, a week after her assignment to the case. She also noted that her term of office ends December 2020 and she wanted the case assigned to someone sure of remaining on the case to its close.
