Testimony is expected to begin Monday in the wrongful death lawsuit against former Balch Springs police officer Roy Oliver, who is serving a 15-year prison sentence for the murder of Jordan Edwards.
Former Balch Springs police officer Roy Oliver, who was convicted of murdering 15-year-old Jordan Edwards in 2017, will not get a new trial.Their lawsuit claims Oliver used excessive force.
"I want that jury whomever it is to understand the immeasurable loss that is but be able to put a monetary award on that difficult-to-measure damage component," explained Geoff J. Henley, an attorney who is not involved in the case.In court on Monday, Roy Oliver paid close attention as potential jurors were questioned about whether they had biases for or against police and whether they could be fair and impartial. A jury was selected by the end of the day.
Oliver maintained he was trying to protect another officer. The jurors will also have to put themselves in the position of Oliver at the time of the shooting, Henley said.
