Murdered.
Please.
Of what crime were the couple convicted? NONE!
What court sentenced them to death? NONE!
They were murdered.
The Houston "Police" Department consists of murderes and conspirators to commit murder.
Don't like the truth? Prove me wrong! Arrest the "officers" involved, charge them with murder, aggravated assault, breaking and entering, deprivation of civil rights, conspiracy, perjury etc.
Until then, EVERY HPD "officer" is a suspect.
You treat the ability to make blanket imbecilic generalizations as if it were a virtue.
