There are federal charges. Generally, they wait until state cases are over to push the federal charges.Mas89 said:I'm still here. And still want to know why the Federal Houston court is not prosecuting this case.Mas89 said:
So why no Federal charges? We know Harris County courts can't be trusted.
It's like after former Mayor Lanier's family got involved and provided Goines with attorneys, the prosecutors suddenly backed off. He reportedly had a long time relationship with certain family members.

Bold defense strategy yesterday. "Yes, we acknowledge Officer Goines lied to the judge repeatedly to get the no-knock warrant, but he's not responsible for the two deaths. That's the fault of the deceased for shooting at police when they kicked in his door without any notice".
Any idea what that defense attorney makes an hour?
I hope they got a sizable retainer before proceeding to court because as someone famous once said, "That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for him."

What would you do if "someone breaks down your door without any notice"? I would also defend my home just as Tuttle did, he just reacted as any normal person would, DEFEND HIMSELF. I'm still trying to figure out how someone with a revolver and only fires four shots can wound as many officers as he did. Just admit it, this was Keystone Cops at their best.
Let's not forget the most important part - an HPD officer lied to a judge to get that no knock warrant.
If the HPD officer never lies, this event never happens and those people are still alive.
But yes, definitely keystone cops that a fellow officer put on that situation.
Dude needs to go away and never come out.

Remember Goins partner in crime in this caper, Steven Bryant, has already plead guilty to the federal charges against him. I bet he is about to turn "SNITCH" to save his ass on the Murder Charge. About to get interesting get the sauce and chips on this one.
Acevedo defends turning off one of his officer's body cams after the raid.
Throw him in prison too.

Texas Ranger says first shot was into the family dog within 18 seconds of entry.
The lady was killed on the couch. She was not reported as getting any shots off.
The man came from further in the house and got off "no more than four rounds".
As I recall, five officers were shot. That means one of them shot a fellow officer while they were shooting 40 rounds into the couple and their dog.
Thank God that homeowner was armed and a good shot. Otherwise they get murdered, Goines plants heroin in the house, and we never hear anything different than "these heroes killed violent black tar heroin dealers" and then wait for it to happen again to someone else.
I'm not a big fan of the whole "**** the police" idea, but sometimes it's appropriate.
Acevedo needs to be in jail too.

turn his ass loose in general population and let the inmates take it from there
Did his attorney think the verdict wasn't real? Your client is guilty, sir. Hope the retainer covered what is owed.Quote:
Before being taken to the back by officers, Goines's attorney, George Secrest, got into a heated exchange with a bailiff attempting to handcuff Goines after the verdict was read.
Good work by the jury.
Hope there's more to come.
He killed two people and got 4 more shot.
They only gave him 60 years.

He'll be a dirty cop in prison. He won't make it anywhere close to the 30 years it will take for him to be eligible for parole.Guitarsoup said:

Now get the the rest of the dirty *******s that knew and or covered up his actions for a long time.
60 per person. At least that's what radio said.
Yes, running concurrently. Eligible for parole in 30.Stringfellow Hawke said:

Basically a life sentence. He wouldn't make it 30 years on the outside much less inside
