While writing yesterday’s Houston forensic backlog story, it occurred to me that I never heard the outcome of the pending murder trial of Ex-Houston Police Officer Gerald Goines. Goines is accused of falsifying information on the warrant on a no-knock narcotics raid in which he and his fellow officers killed two people.
As far as I can tell, that’s because the trial hasn’t happened yet, despite the original raid happening in January of 2019. The most recent activity was the judge refusing to dismiss the charges, and another court limiting the mere presence of Goines in a case as a possible cause for appeal to a ten year stretch starting in 2008.
The only other news I’ve found was that Steven Bryant, another officer on the raid, pled guilty to federal tampering charges back in 2021.
