A former Houston police officer who authorities said lied to obtain a search warrant for a raid in which two people died and five officers were injured has been charged with murder, a prosecutor said
Gerald Goines, who had a 35-year law enforcement career, faces two felony murder charges, said Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg. A second former officer, Steven Bryant, is accused of tampering with evidence."The eyes of this community and the nation are on this case; it is critical to the public trust that we reveal the true facts about what, how and why two civilians were killed in their own home by members of the Houston Police Narcotics Squad 15," Ogg said in a statement.
Nicole DeBorde, attorney for Goines, said she wished a grand jury had reviewed the case before charges were brought. Her client has cooperated and has a $150,000 bond, DeBorde said.Bryant's attorney, Andy Drumheller, said the former officer turned himself in and was posting bond. Drumheller said Bryant had no role in drafting the police affidavit, never discharged his weapon and did not enter the residence where the raid occurred.
