For those who don’t remember:
On Jan. 28, Houston narcotics officers burst into the house at 7815 Harding Street looking for heroin.
The raid went awry almost immediately, with gunfire erupting moments after an undercover narcotics team broke down the door to the Pecan Park home. Dennis Tuttle and his wife, Rhogena Nicholas, were killed and five officers were injured, including case agent Goines, who was shot in the neck.
Police said they were looking for heroin dealers, but the raid only turned up small, user-level amounts of cocaine and marijuana. In the days that followed, an internal investigation sparked questions about the officers’ justification for the search warrant. Though a sworn affidavit - signed by case Goines - recounted a controlled buy made by a confidential informant, police quickly realized they could not verify that claim or find the alleged informant.
Turned up or planted? Who is the independent witness to verify? I do not doubt that it was found. I believe that it was planted.
?Of the 5 cops shot, Who shot Who ? Homeowners get off a few rounds in Self-defense or Friendly Fire ?
