, the former Houston Police Department narcotics officer who led the deadly Harding Street raid that left a couple and their dog dead, will finally face a jury next week.. The couple and their dog were killed in January 2019 when Goines and other narcotics officers raided their Harding Street home with a “no-knock warrant” and in plain clothing.
5 years after deadly Harding Street raid, still no criminal trial for former HPD Officer Gerald Goines The Tuttle and Nicholas families have long awaited justice for the death of their loved ones, but seeing Goines in court battling state-level charges almost never happened.Goines’ attorneys filed a motion asking Judge Nelson to drop the indictments, arguing they lacked specific details regarding the laws he violated that resulted in the felony murder charges.
“I do think when the defendant is a law enforcement officer, as soon as the indictment is read to the jury, one of two things occurs, the potential juror either determines they think it’s political and this is unfair and they entrench a little bit for the defendant or they pull back and treat them even more harshly than they would a standard defendant in those shoes,” said criminal defense attorney Erin Epley.
