## Resource

The evidence tampering case against former Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody and former Assistant County Attorney Jason Nassour has been shut down after the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals declined to review the prosecution’s appeal — effectively sealing the case. The controversy stems from the 2019 death of Javier Ambler during a traffic stop, where authorities were accused of hiding video footage. Despite multiple indictments and significant legal effort from district attorneys, a federal law ruling deemed the key evidence inadmissible, and the appeals court later stripped the appeals court of jurisdiction. With no legal path forward, the case ends on a technicality, leaving the Ambler family and prosecutors frustrated — a high-stakes investigation now closed by the courts.
