Gerald Goines, the ex-Houston officer found guilty of murder in the Harding Street raid, is pushing for a new trial.
Ex- HPD officer found guilty in deadly Harding Street raid wants new trial, claiming evidence was withheld
Former Houston police officer Gerald Goines is taken into custody and his defense attorneys Reagan Wynn, front center, and Nicole DeBorde Hochglaube, second right, react to the guilty verdict in his murder trial in the 482nd District Court at the Harris County Criminal courthouse Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024, in Houston. A jury found Goines guilty of two counts of murder in the January 2019 deaths of Dennis Tuttle and his wife Rhogena Nicholas.
First, he contends the subpoena is based on “newly discovered evidence,” a claim he calls “false,” noting that Goines and his attorney have been aware of Tuttle’s phone since October 2021 but made no attempts to retrieve it in the last two and a half years. Additionally, Smith claims the data on Tuttle’s phone has no relevance to Goines’ defense. The motion claims that Goines’ case centers on alleged false statements he made in a search warrant affidavit, which ultimately led to Tuttle’s death. According to Smith, the contents of Tuttle’s phone bear no relevance to the issue of whether Goines falsified statements to obtain the warrant.
