Taking all that into consideration, you can definitely see why the family is so worked up and went after Rivas on the stand.
Watch the video:
From TMZ:
Detectives are now investigating their deaths as possible homicides, although it's unclear if their cases have any connection to Ethan's slaying.
Fast forward to October 2022 in a San Antonio courtroom, where Rivas took the stand to testify at trial for Ethan's murder with the Soto family present.
As Rivas was testifying, four members of the Soto family attacked him on the stand and it was all recorded on video, which was published Tuesday in the DailyMail.
Check it out ... the family members lunged at Rivas, pummeling him with their fists until court officers jumped in and brought the situation under control. Officers quickly led Rivas -- who was not seriously hurt -- out of the courtroom to safety.
Four people were arrested -- two adult males and two juvenile males - and expected to be charged with assault and disrupting court proceedings.
