He might genuinely agree with that because of the way he looks now.

I have been told that he has told the judge if he had the money to make bail he would do the same thing over again

Do you know why he shot the officers? Also, I imagine he said that because he probably blames the officers for him looking the way he does, even though it's his own fault.

Nevermind. They're just added to the ignore list.

That won't be for a while.

There's a good chance he won't look exactly that way forever. They probably removed a section of his skull so his brain wouldn't swell against it. They are probably planning to replace it at some point in the future.

I mean, baseball cap and now he's just ugly instead of freakshow…

I don't know if they would let him wear a baseball cap at his trial, since hats aren't allowed in the courtroom. They might make an exception in his case, though.

His crimes have been escalating over time. He went from committing misdemeanor theft and vehicle burglaries (misdemeanor probation) to committing assault (jail time) to setting his car on fire in order to collect the insurance money (felony probation and prison time) to committing aggravated assault with his hands and feet (longer prison time) to shooting police officers, breaking into a business, and stealing cars and a gun (25 to 99 years or life in prison).

He was indicted last Thursday on two counts of aggravated assault against a public servant, burglary of a habitation, evading arrest in a vehicle, theft of property between $30,000 and $150,000, two counts of unauthorized use of a vehicle, felon in possession of a firearm, unlawful carrying of a weapon by a convicted felon, burglary of a building, and three counts of theft of a firearm, so thirteen total felony charges. His burglary of a habitation charge and two of his theft of a firearm charges are new.

In some cities, he would get probation.

And we're stuck paying the medical bills for this dude with half a skull for the next 50 years.

He's 45, so he won't live fifty years in prison, but I get your point.

He tried to get his bond reduced today, but he was unsuccessful.

His trial is scheduled to start on July 8th next year.

His trial date was changed today from July 8th to October 28th.

PSA. If you know of a criminal mind in Brazos county, urge them not to commit a shooting crime. The prosecutor, judge, and jury will send you to Huntsville.

Good.
Some folks don't think deterrence works but as we are seeing in Houston and elsewhere, when you remove penalties, crime goes up.

FIFY

Houston has seen some bad stuff lately. That thing that was trying to carjack the DA.

I hope this shows the danger of catch and release.

Apparently, neither does the DA.

KBTX said his jury was chosen yesterday. I'll post the results of his case after the trial is over.

Guilty

this is the guy thats missing like a third of his head, yes?

KBTX - Herrin Guilty Verdict

Quick deliberation.

I'm wondering the same thing. In the KBTX photo, dude has his head back to normal.

Was. The taxpayers paid for it to be put back together again.

He's facing 25 to 99 years or life, and he has to serve half of his sentence before being eligible for parole (if he gets more than sixty years or if he gets life, he'll be eligible for parole after thirty years).

Did he get his head fixed under Medicaid, or did the people of Brazos County pay for it under some discretionary funding? I mean he lived with 1/2 of his skull, right?

If he had pled guilty and asked for the judge to decide his sentence, he would have been eligible for probation (he wouldn't have gotten it, but he would have been eligible), but he pled not guilty and is asking for the jury to decide his sentence. He went to trial for shooting one of the police officers, but the other police officer testified during his sentencing hearing.

It's not really safe esp if you are expecting him to go to prison. There should be something to protect his brain.

The jury is currently deliberating his sentence. The prosecutors asked for life and his lawyers asked for 35 years. I'll post again after he's sentenced.
