Listen Later

After Cameron Wright confessed to assaulting Aliah Hernandez in 2014 in a New Braunfels, Texas hotel room, both the officer assigned to Aliah's case and Aliah's friends and family thought it was an open-and-shut case. But two grand juries declined to indict Wright. In part two of Queer Texas, Heather Stewart shares the rest of Aliah's story. Aliah's best friend shares her frustrations at the lack of indictment, and a legal professional weighs in on why the grand juries might have declined to indict.
