AUSTIN — Former Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody and former Assistant County Attorney Jason Nassour will face a jury to answer charges related to evidence tampering in the 2019 death of Javier Ambler II.
The two will be tried together before 299th Travis County District Court Judge Karen Sage. Jury selection will begin Aug. 12 with the trial set to begin the following day.
Chody described the charges as “an utter collapse of the criminal justice system,” during a 2020 press conference. The indictment came just about a month before Chody lost his re-election bid and was defeated by Sheriff Mike Gleason.
