New video recorded by Bland at the time of her arrest is leading to calls for the probe into her arrest and death to be reopened.
Democratic presidential candidates are calling for an investigation into the 2015 death of Sandra Bland to be re-opened after cellphone video recorded by Bland at the time of her arrest surfaced Monday night. The nearly 40-second video capturing her encounter with Brian Encinia, then a Texas state trooper, appears to raise doubts about Encinia’s claim to investigators during the probe into his conduct that his “safety was in jeopardy at more than one time.
“Get out of the car,” Encinia screams as he points a Taser directly at Bland in the newly-revealed cellphone footage. “I will light you up.” — Julián Castro May 7, 2019 Encinia was subsequently removed from the state police force and indicted by a grand jury on perjury charges, which were dismissed when prosecutors reached a deal with Encinia to forgo a trial if he would agree not to seek future employment as a police officer.
“I’ve not seen it,” Lambert told the Texas television station. “If they had turned it over, I would have seen it.”“The premise that the video was not produced as a part of the discovery process is wrong,” the department said.
