who they had reviewing the case, stumbled upon the evidence while examining AJ’s shirt. This information came one day before the third trial was set to begin, pushing things back for several weeks.
AJ’s attorney Rick DeToto, from the first day of the trial, said the DNA evidence was possibly a result of cross-contamination, calling it “meaningless” during his closing arguments. “Considering the foregoing, and the following, the blood was planted by, or in conspiracy with, one or more persons at the HPD in order to try and convict Armstrong of capital murder and to taint his reputation in the mind of the public. There is a long history of planting evidence by the City of Houston Police. In all probability, one or more individuals purposely caused the deposition of Antonio Armstrong Sr.
