Re: Four years in jail for killing police officer, no-knock raid, no drugs found, no trial yet

Recently an innocent homeowner was killed in Waller County, TX.
https://www.click2houston.com/news/swat ... puties-say
Investigators said the Waller County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team and the Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Unit were executing the warrant around 5:30 a.m. at a home on Avenue I in Pattison, when a man at the home pointed a gun at the SWAT team. A member of the team opened fire, shooting the man at least once, deputies said.
...
A source with knowledge of the investigation told KPRC that while serving the warrant an entry team knocked loudly on the door and broke a window.

When no one answered, the team forced its way in. A man and woman were inside the bedroom. The source told KPRC the man told his wife to call police.

The source said the man grabbed a gun and when SWAT members approached, he pointed it at the officers. That's when he was shot and killed.
From the comments section:
The man they shot was NOT the person they were looking for. The person they were looking for moved away 2 months ago! At 5:30AM they woke up to someone bashing their door in. He was startled & jumped up to see what was going on. His wife/girlfriend only heard her husband screaming to call the police 3 times in a row with unintelligible screaming in the background...& then gunfire at close range. Shame on all of you for APPLAUDING THE DEATH OF AN INNOCENT MAN.

Waller County authorities said it appears the man shot in a deadly raid was not the target of an investigation.

Friends and family of the man who was killed are in shock. LeNae Schulz cannot believe her best friend, landscaper Mickey Coy of Pattison, is gone.
...
KPRC obtained that search warrant and learned Coy was not named. Authorities wrote that an IP address connected to the home was linked to communications with an undercover agent and involved the sharing of lewd pictures of underage children.
Atleast the police claim to have knocked.

Didn't realize dynamic raids based on an IP address were a thing now, guess they were worried the guy they were really after had some thermite sitting on top of his hard drives.

The Annoyed Man wrote: Sat Jul 21, 2018 10:42 am I agree with that last statement, but I think that there should be some limitations on that. For instance, if the felon has been convicted of a crime of violence, or use of a firearm in commission of a crime, or is a recidivist with more than one conviction and sentencing, then maybe they’ve demonstrated that they continue to be a threat to their community even after release, and can never again be trusted with a firearm.

So in principle, yes, if a persona has fulfilled their debt to society, then their rights should be restored; but if they continue to incur debts to society, then they become like a borrower with a history of defaulting on loans. At some point, they can’t borrow any more money because society knows they’re not good for repayment.
My thoughts are that a person who has shown they are a continuing threat to society should be given an appropriately lengthy sentence. It is not logical to think that guns can be kept out of the hands of any individual who chooses to own one.

In theory I'm fine with making no-guns a condition of parole for a violent crime that involved a gun, but once that person has completed the parole they should get those rights back. It is not like having a gun makes a person turn into a criminal.

From http://kdhnews.com/news/crime/capital-m ... 5d3b0.html
In numerous Herald jail interviews with Guy, he said police singled him out because of his felony criminal history of bank robbery and other offenses and said he was simply defending himself when his bedroom window was broken out that morning.
From another article I read it says the bank robbery happened in 1997. He might be legal to have a gun in his home under state law. He is likely still prohibited from owning a gun under federal law but that would be up to the feds to prosecute if they had the inclination to do so.

https://www.johntfloyd.com/convicted-fe ... -in-texas/
Under Texas state law a convicted felon may possess a firearm in the residence, in which he lives, once five years have elapsed from the date his sentence was discharged. This means the later of release from prison or parole. This is not true under federal law. So, while a convicted felony could lawfully possess a firearm in these very limited circumstance under state law, he could possibly be charged and convicted under federal law, even though current federal policy is to defer to state law on this issue.
https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/penal-code ... 46-04.html
(a) A person who has been convicted of a felony commits an offense if he possesses a firearm:
(1) after conviction and before the fifth anniversary of the person's release from confinement following conviction of the felony or the person's release from supervision under community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision, whichever date is later;  or
(2) after the period described by Subdivision (1), at any location other than the premises at which the person lives.
Personally I'm of the mindset that someone who has completed their sentence should automatically have all of their rights restored.

Four years in jail for killing police officer, no-knock raid, no drugs found, no trial yet

In my neck of the woods there was the case of Ray Rosas he had a similar home defense shooting with the police but nobody died. He was in jail for 2 years before he got a trial and was acquitted.

http://kdhnews.com/news/crime/accused-k ... d80ef.html
The widow of the Killeen detective and SWAT officer who was killed on May 9, 2014, looked on as Marvin Louis Guy, the man accused of the slaying, was in court for a status hearing Thursday.

It was lawyers and Judge John Gauntt who did all the talking in the 27th Judicial District Court, however, as the killing of Charles “Chuck” Dinwiddie is not resolved and no trial date has been set.

Guy, who could face the death penalty if convicted, is charged with one count of capital murder and three counts of attempted capital murder after he exchanged gunfire during an early-morning “no-knock” warrant at his apartment on Circle M Drive in Killeen more than four years ago.

Dinwiddie was fatally shot and two other police officers were wounded during the raid.

In past interviews, Guy has said that he believed his home was being broken into during the 5 a.m. raid, and he began shooting in self-defense.

Documents released Wednesday including search warrant affidavits and a lengthy evidence inventory provide details of both the drug raid that left one Killeen police officer dead and another injured and of the crime scene investigation that followed the deadly shooting.

The evidence return does not list any drugs.

KWTX says an informant allegedly saw white bags of cocaine transported in and around the house. That may well have happened, but informants are notoriously unreliable.
