...Ogg said that as investigators probed the case, they determined that Goines first lied about using a confidential informant to buy heroin; then claimed to have bought the drugs himself; then lied about who identified the drugs; and finally admitted that he couldnt determine whether Tuttle was the same person from whom he allegedly purchased the drugs....

I used to think people like me were paranoid authority haters. Like that was a bad thing ...
This is VERY good news, thanks for posting.
Ex-case agent Gerald Goines on Friday was charged with two counts of felony murder
in the Jan. 28 deaths of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas and is still under
investigation over claims he stole guns, drugs and money, Harris County District
Attorney Kim Ogg announced at a news conference downtown. His partner, Steven
Bryant, was charged with one count of evidence tampering, a state jail felony.
Nice to see justice in this case, finally, but ya know what?
I rememember when word of this shooting fiiiiirst broke here at FR, and WHAT, do you think, was the first boot-licking reaction, huh..?
“Hey, ya don’t wanna get killed? Don’t SELL DRUGS..!! Ahahahahhah...!”
People chimed in, in allll manner of nasty ways like that.
Quiiiiiite a very different tune, now, I see.
Boot lickers will probably show up at some point.
This one was looking dirty pretty early on, however.
Gerald Goines has been charged with two counts of murder
Bryant is accused of lying in a supplemental report
Houston PD drug raid murder ping
I am going with the early theory on this one. Botched address. Cops were being lazy and raiding drug houses without bothering to do the policework first and got the address wrong on this one.
Currently appears the raid team shot eachother, and there is now video purportedly with the sounds of two shots 30 minutes after the raid. And the supposed suspects gun appears to be MIA.
Murder charges seem appropriate.
They always do. It is a little early. like someone said, this one stunk from the beginning.

Any cop comes to my house and kills me and my wife in a "botched" raid, the bottom line is that we are still dead, and he deserves to fry. Baked in a slow oven would be even better, but he should fry.
dear Zhang
did you read the article?
“Because the deaths occurred in the course of another alleged felony tampering with a government record Goines was charged with felony murder.”
Seems like you are just being plain lazy (not that there is anything wrong with that) as there are some other useful/relevant details in the article.
Hang him and the jackasses that sent him...
Police chief and others were originally part of the coverup. Story didn’t go away. Too many ugly truths.
Lied in their filings. Same with the Obama investigation of Trump.
the coverup of their own crimes (falsified paperwork leading to the raid and after the event) puts it in the murder camp.
If 2 thugs rob a store and one gets shot, his buddy gets charged with murder because the death came from his crime.

* Another way of putting this is that if he had come clean after the operation, his career would be shot, but there would be a lesser criminal charge such as negligent homicide.
Not of their own free will. Now, if somebody went to the effort of collecting names from the earlier threads and pinging them here, that could be entertaining ...

Judging from http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3724357/posts that was largely the work of Kazan.
Only someone incredibly stupid thinks the loser couple should have unleashed a pit bull on police officers or engaged them in a shootout. That's a way to end up dead. They deserve ZERO sympathy.
