I’m sure the report was finished within a couple weeks, otherwise the blood sample goes stale. Somebody must not want the report released.

From the Dallas News report on the 911 recording[1]: “The call was among a number of records police and prosecutors have tried to avoid releasing, including Guyger’s personnel file, her clock-in and clock-out times the day of the shooting and Jean’s autopsy.”

The prosecutors are trying to block the release? The only thing I can think of is they’re afraid opening things up would inflame the public so much there would be no chance of an unbiased jury anywhere in Texas.
