Former San Antonio cop James Brennand faces a high-stakes pretrial hearing as his trial for aggravated assault looms just weeks away—set for July 21st after he opened fire on teen Erik Cantu in a McDonald’s parking lot in October 2022. Body cam footage captures the tense moment when Cantu’s car door struck Brennand, sparking the shooting that left Cantu critically injured and hospitalized for months. Today’s hearing will determine what evidence and witnesses can be presented to the jury, setting the stage for a trial that could send Brennand to prison for life if convicted.
