On Friday, jurors in the Otis McKane capital murder trial saw video of the accused obtaining a marriage license the day after his charge of shooting and killing San Antonio Police Detective Benjamin Marconi.

The video shown by the prosecution on Day 5 of the trial was from surveillance cameras installed around the Paul Elizondo Tower building at the Bexar County Courthouse on November 21, 2016, said Danny Chapman, senior communications specialist for the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.

Chapman said he pulled several video clips at the request of the San Antonio Police Department.

Videos show McKane and Christian Chanel Fields around 10 a.m., walking from the parking lot to the building, to the security checkpoint, into the marriage license office and out of the building.

Joyce Ann Mendoza, who issued the marriage license, said the couple seemed happy and McKane “was in a good mood” and said “hello”.

Mendoza said McKane admitted he was in default of child support, but was making payments. One of the questions asked about a marriage license is child support payments.

Mendoza also said the couple requested a waiver to get married on the same day, which they did.

Ahead of the screening of McKane’s video at the courthouse, the prosecution focused on the SAPD investigation into Marconi’s death.

Among the witnesses was Lt. SAPD Brent Bell, who was Marconi’s supervisor when Marconi was killed and one of the lead investigators on the gun team involving officers.

Bell testified about how the investigation into Marconi’s death was conducted and how the SAPD took precautions because officials “believed the threat was ongoing” because they did not immediately know who the gunman was, it happened in front of the public security headquarters and “due to anti-police movement at the time.”

“We were aware of a pattern of other targeted agents (and) until we apprehended this person, we weren’t sure if he would do it again,” Bell told jurors.

Bell said November 2016 was a tense time for police officers nationwide after several officers were ambushed, including an incident in Dallas earlier that year. Due to the incidents, Bell said SAPD chief William McManus ordered officers to double down while on duty and SAPD substations were closed to the general public.

The SAPD notified local, regional, state and federal agencies statewide of the vehicle the suspect was driving.

Crime scene investigator Brenda Oliva testified about the video she took of the crime scene, which was shown to the jury.

The video showed the interior of Marconi’s police unit, revealing bullet casings and pools of blood. The video also showed the trafficking guns McKane walked through with his car as he drove away from the scene, prosecutors said.

Another ITUC investigator, Treise McDaniel, testified about the photos she took of McKane’s car at night at the intersection of North Calaveras and North Poplar.

Jurors saw photos of apparent paint scuffs on the hood and trunk of McKane’s 2011 Mitsubishi Galant which prosecutors said were caused when he passed through the traffic arms at SAPD headquarters.

McDaniel also testified how she noticed a defect in the front passenger seat of Marconi’s unit that produced a depleted bullet, which she collected as evidence.

McKane faces the death penalty if convicted.
