A BEXAR COUNTY DEPUTY TAKING AN ELBOW TO THE HEAD FROM A DEFENDANT MOMENTS AFTER
OTIS MCKANE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF
CAPITAL MURDER. >> YESTERDAY IN BEXAR COUNTY COURT. IT WAS ALL CAUGHT ON
CAMERA THE MOMENT WE SHARED
LIVE WITH YOU HERE AT 6 O’CLOCK
YESTERDAY TO TALK ABOUT THIS
EVENT AND WHAT’S HAPPENED SINCE
THEN WE’D LIKE TO BRING IN
BEXAR COUNTY SHERIFF JAVIER
SALAZAR FOR TODAY’S KSAT Q
AND A SHERIFF THANKS FOR
SHARING SOME TIME WITH US YOU
KNOW THIS THIS TRIAL.
THIS TRIAL OF THE MAN NOW
CONVICTED OF KILLING A SAN
ANTONIO POLICE DETECTIVE,
A LOT OF EYES HAVE BEEN ON IT
IT HAS BEEN A
HIGH-PROFILE CASE TO SEE IT
COME TO THAT AND MOMENTS AFTER
THE GUILTY VERDICT YESTERDAY,
WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU
SAW THAT VIDEO.
>> WELL THE IT WAS A FRIEND LET
ME LET ME START OUT WITH THAT
WE GREW UP TOGETHER IN SAN
ANTONIO POLICE OFFICERS MATTER
OF FACT
I WAS STILL A SAN ANTONIO
POLICE OFFICER WHEN WHEN
THIS HAPPENS. AND SO IT IT
BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES
OBVIOUSLY ALONG WITH EVERYBODY
ELSE I WANT TO
SEE JUSTICE METED OUT AS CASE
AND JUST AT THE MOMENT THAT WE
WERE SEEING THAT. THIS ATTACK
HAPPENED WHICH AGAIN
JUST SHOWS THEY CARE DOES THIS
PERSON THAT WE’RE DEALING WITH
GOT NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE.
>> AND YEAH IT BUT YOU HAD
THERE HAD TO BE SOME.
TREPIDATION AND SOME FEAR WHEN
YOU FIRST SAW IT AND THEN I
THINK DID YOU REALIZE OK THIS
IS EXACTLY WHAT MY DEPUTIES ARE
TRAINED TO DO.
>> THEY JUST FELL INTO IT AND THEY DID A GREAT JOB, THEY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB.
>> SO THAT
IS SEED ROW GONZALES HE
TESTIFIED DURING THE PUNISHMENT
PHASE OF THIS TRIAL TODAY HE
TALKED ABOUT HOW
HE FELT LIKE THIS WAS GOING TO
HAPPEN THERE WERE I BELIEVE IT
WAS JASON JARVIS I BELIEVE WAS
HIS NAME HIS PARTNER THERE
WHO TALKED ABOUT THEY WERE THEY
WERE WATCHING SIGNS THEY FELT
MCCAIN WAS GOING TO REACT SO IT
SEEMS TO ME THEY HAD THE
TRAINING TO KNOW
THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO
ANTICIPATE WHAT DO YOU THINK
THEY WERE LOOKING AT TO YEARS
TO TO
SEE THAT.
>> HERE’S WILLIAM BENNETT JUST
WORKING IN A JAIL AS OUR GET
YOU SPENT A LOT
OF TIME LEARNING
INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS
AND THE NUMBER OF YEARS AS YOU
ALL KNOW AS MEDIA PEOPLE A LOT
OF WHAT’S BEING SAID IS
NOT OVER. THEY COULD SELL BY
HIS DEMEANOR AND THE FACT
STANDING UP AND ON BUT MAYBE IT
IS SURE THAT HE WAS PREPARING
FOR SOMETHING AND SO THEY ARE
ALREADY STARTING TO BRACE
THEMSELVES FOR FOR THE FIGHT
THE THEY THOUGHT WAS GOING TO
COME NOW WITH THAT BEING SAID
THEY WANT TO ALARM ANYBODY IN
THE COURTROOM. SO THEY JUST
KIND OF STARTED GETTING
THEMSELVES INTO POSITION
KNOWING FULL. WELL THAT WAS
PROBABLY GOING TO BE SOME SORT
OF CONFRONTATION. YEAH,
IT DID.
>> DEPUTY GONZALES EVEN I HAD
MY PARTNER OPEN UP THE DOOR
JUST IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENED
SO WE COULD GET THE THREAT OUT
OF THE COURTROOM.
I I WAS STRUCK WHEN WE PUT THIS
ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA YESTERDAY
THAT THE MOST POPULAR
OVERWHELMING
QUESTION WAS HOW IS THE DEPUTY
HOW IS DEPUTY YOU SEE DRUG
GONZALES
DOING TONIGHT.
>> YOU KNOW HE’S HE’S DOING YOU
KNOW TRUE HERO TRUE
PROFESSIONAL.
YOU KNOW IN THE FACE SO THAT HE
YOU KNOW HE GOT HIT IN THE FACE
PRETTY HARD. >> BUT HE STAYED IN THE FIGHT YOU DID WE NEED TO DO IS YOU
PROTECTED THAT JUDGE AND THOSE
JURORS ON THOSE WITNESSES
GOT TO THROW IT OUT AND AND
THEN
REACTED FIRST AND THEN
AFTERWARDS WHEN YOU YOU KNOW
I’VE BEEN IN FIGHTS LIKE THAT
AFTER IS WHEN YOU GO WOW THAT
HURT. BUT YOU DON’T THINK ABOUT
WHAT YOU’RE DOING THAT YOU
JUST REACT BASED UPON YOUR
TRAIN AND THEY THEY REACTED
BEAUTIFULLY AS A TEEN.
>> YEAH, HE WAS RIGHT BACK IN
THE COURTROOM RIGHT AFTER THE
INCIDENT AND THEN RIGHT BACK IN
THE COURTROOM TODAY AS WELL ON
THE WITNESS STAND AND DOING HIS
DUTY AS A BAILIFF IS THERE
I MEAN TALK US THROUGH THIS
VIDEO AS YOU SEE IT, I THINK
WE’RE GOING TO RE STARTED HERE
AFTER A JURY IS OUT.
>> ARE AND.
>> YOU KNOW THINGS THAT YOU SEE
IN
THIS VIDEO.
>> THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON
MIGHT NOT PICK UP ON.
>> SO IT USUALLY TYPICALLY
WHAT YOU’LL SEE WHEN THEY’RE
BEING SAID THIS IS YOU’LL SEE
THE DEFENDANT AND
THE DEFENSE RISE TO THEIR FEET
THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN IN THIS CASE
SO THAT WAS A LITTLE WEIRD
RIGHT. THIS STARTED BUT IN
THE DEPUTIES ON HIGH ALERT AND
WHEN HE STANDS UP AND STARTS
AND DOING IS SHIRT TO THE
UNTRAINED EYE IT LOOKS LIKE
WHILE YOU’RE TAKING OFF A
SHIRT, BUT TO A CAUSE
WE KNOW ALL RIGHT SOMETHING TO
FIX IT HAPPENED SO I BETTER
START GETTING READY FOR WHAT
THOSE NEXT. WELL THESE FOLKS
HAS ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF MIND
THAT THEY DON’T NEED EVERYBODY
OUT SO WHY DO THEY START
NON-BIRD BILLY GETTING THINGS
READY TO TO ADDRESS THE THREAT
AND TO DECREASE SUGGESTS THAT
ANYBODY ELSE TO GET HURT.
HE STARTED TRYING TO TO
HANDCUFF THE SUSPECT BUT THEN
WHEN THE FIGHT WAS ON THE FIGHT
WAS ON HE DECIDED HOW THAT WAS
GOING TO GO AND THEY FINISHED
BY THAT POINT THEY DID A
GREAT JOB. SO RIGHT AFTER THIS
WE’VE REPORTED THAT THERE HAS
BEEN AN IMPACT AT THE BEXAR
COUNTY JAIL, THE ALERT LEVEL IF
YOU WILL.
>> INCREASE TELL US
ABOUT THAT.
>> THERE THERE IS A LOOK WHAT
WE DO IN CASES LIKE THIS
OBVIOUSLY IS NOW THE K WILL BE
TRANSPORTED BACK AND FORTH NOT
JUST WITH ONE VEHICLE. WE’RE
GOING TO BE USING A CONVOY
WHICH IS AGAIN SOMETHING THAT
OUR DEPUTIES ARE WELL VERSED IS
THAT WE HAVE TO STEP UP THE
THREAT THAT LOOK THAT POINT
ONCE HE’S HERE IN THE JAIL THE
CERT TEAM WILL NOW GREET HIM AT
THE SALLY PORT AND ESCORT
HIM IN AGAIN WE’RE WE’RE
ADDRESSING IT NUMBERS AND WE’RE
MAKING SURE THAT LOOK WE’RE NOT
LEAVING ANY DOUBT IN HIS MIND
THAT THAT WE’RE READY FOR
WHATEVER MAY COME.
AND SO ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT
WAS ALLOCATED AT THIS POINT.
SHERIFF JAVIER SALAZAR DO ME A
FAVOR AND PASS ALONG OUR BEST.
>> 2 DEPUTIES SEED

HAND ALL THE BAILOUTS AND THE
DEPUTIES. THEY LOVE SLASH
