A Central Texas man who shot and killed a sheriff's deputy entering his home will not be charged with capital murder, attorneys said Thursday.
A local grand jury declined Wednesday to indict Henry Goedrich Magee for the December death of Burleson County Sgt. Adam Sowders, who was part of a group of investigators executing a search warrant for Magee's rural home.
Sowders and other officers entered the home about 90 miles northwest of Houston without knocking just before 6 a.m. Authorities were looking for guns and marijuana.
Magee's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said his client thought he was the victim of a home invasion, reached for a gun and opened fire.

ReplyDeleteShit happens, I guess.
Y'all should read the comments of the anointed ones over at PoliceOne regarding this.

That site is a train wreck, but very enlightening as to the general attitude of our costumed government goon enforcers.
A train wreck indeed. It's real simple: Stop no knocks. Problem fixed otherwise it will continue and rightly so. A little payback for Guerena.
DeleteBut it still takes juries with brains. How many are there of those? I hope more and more.
DeleteWith our commie school system, I'm afraid it will go the other way.
