AUSTIN, Texas — Travis County District Attorney Margaret Moore is sticking to her word when it comes to reforming how her office handles lethal force cases for police officers.

Earlier this year, she announced her office will no longer bring every officer-involved shooting before a grand jury.

"We will not be presenting cases to the grand jury in which we are convinced that no crime occurred, or we are convinced there's not probable cause," said Dexter Gilford with the DA's office.

Additionally, the DA's office now has its own special grand jury solely to hear these types of cases.

It will also publish letters explaining to the public why the investigation wasn't taken to a grand jury for an indictment.

"We feel like it's the best way to go. There's no reason to run a case through a grand jury when it's very obvious from the evidence that the officers have committed a crime,” said Ken Casaday, Austin Police Department union president.

Three officer-involved shootings from 2016 will not be reviewed, including this fatal shooting of a man armed with a rifle at an apartment complex.

Moving forward, prosecutors will determine whether or not the officer's use of force is justified under the law — something community groups say they can support.

"I think it's well calculated to where if she knows the system and how the system works, that she doesn't think justice is gonna reign true, then I don't want to get the hopes of the community up and don't want to waste the justice system and grand jury's time," said Chas Moore with the Austin Justice Coalition.
