Nine defendants convicted on charges related to a nonfatal July 4 shooting of a police officer outside the Prairieland immigration detention center filed motions to overturn their jury verdicts and request a new trial.

U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman oversaw the trial and will rule on the motions.
