Houston, TX — The murder of an innocent Houston couple made national headlines earlier this year as police took to smearing their names and threatening those who didn’t believe their official narrative.

And, moments ago, the cop who lied to attain the warrant for the raid—was charged with murder in the first degree.  Continue reading “Houston Cop Who Lied About Raid that Killed Innocent Couple—Charged with Murder”
