Two men who survived the crash — Raul Ramos and Gabriel Gallardo — took to the stand on Wednesday.

Alvarez appeared stoic during their testimony and showed no emotion, but he did appear to be paying attention to the testimony of the two men.

The defense is expected to call their first witnesses on Thursday.

On Tuesday, prosecutor Arturo Teniente said a lab test from the Texas Department of Public Safety showed Alvarez tested positive for cocaine metabolite.

Alvarez's defense attorney, Cesar De Leon, argued that Alvarez confessed to having done cocaine several days prior to the crash, and was not intoxicated at the time of the crash.

Jurors saw body camera footage of the crash on Tuesday. The footage showed Alvarez tell police he blacked out before the crash. At one point, Alvarez was heard asking one of the officers what had happened.
