AJ Armstrong’s murder case heads to a new trial after appeals court ruling
AJ Armstrong's legal saga continues as the 14th Court of Appeals orders a new trial. The previous verdict was overturned due to the trial court's failure to hold a hearing on Armstrong's motion for a new trial. The case will return to the trial court for a hearing by January 6, 2026.
The 14th Court of Appeals ruled that the trial court abused its discretion by not conducting a hearing on Armstrong's motion for a new trial. This decision paves the way for a potential fourth murder trial for Armstrong, who was previously found guilty of capital murder in his third trial. The first two trials ended in a hung jury.
The remand order does not specify the name of the judge who will handle the case at the trial court level. The search for relevant information on this matter has yielded no results.
The case of AJ Armstrong is set to proceed with a hearing on his motion for a new trial by January 6, 2026. The outcome of this hearing will determine the next steps in the legal process, potentially leading to a fourth murder trial.
