Gag order needs to be put into effect immediately. This is poisoning the well for jury selection. Deputy Goforth was in uniform, pumping gas into a patrol car when executed, which can be argued are actions more in line with his job’s duties than not. There was no connection between accused and either the deputy or woman claiming the affair so crime of passion is out. No where else to go but blame the victim.
In this case, these Texas Prosecutors, in their minds, are picking a jury that will fry this bastard already. Neither the prosecutors or the judge will be deflected from this unspoken goal of killing this sob for shooting that cop in the back 15 times.
In Texas, “law enforcement” is a power unto it’s own. They will get what they want in this case. Average frying time in Texas is 10.87 years. This guy will die inside 5.
