Motion to Suppress: New DNA evidence may not be introduced in A.J. Armstrong’s third trial

Prosecutors will argue clothing worn by A.J. Armstrong after his parents’ murders in 2016, holds critical DNA evidence in the case.

Sources tell KPRC 2 Investigates the DNA evidence was found on the clothing, but it is unclear what the source of it is or the type.

A hearing was scheduled for June 20, however, it was rescheduled to July 31.

The curious new revelation that the shirt may contain important evidence comes almost seven years after the crimes were committed.

Three trials have followed. The first two, in 2019 and 2022, ended in hung juries.

The wheels of justice are turning slowly during trial number three, which has already been delayed twice, since 16 jurors were selected, out of a pool of more than 200.

The issue will be front and center Tuesday morning on “The Bench” which is scheduled to air Tuesday at 8 A.M..
