Either that or other folks who have been key in the apparent railroading of his son are involved.Wow! This has an episode of Forensic Files written all over it.
I don't think this was a murder either.
Do people write mean obituaries?
"Leslie Ray 'Popeye' Charping was born in Galveston on November 20, 1942 and passed away January 30, 2017, which was 29 years longer than expected and much longer than he deserved."
Nothing on the docket as of now... Nothing new on local MSM, either.Hey @borndem - mans draugs!
Anything happening with this case? Did they let him go free?
Can you tell I'm going thru some of my "oldie" cases? I'll probably be "tagging" you for some others later.
TIA!![]()

Earlier this month, a Durham County Superior Court judge detailed his reasons for throwing out some of the most tantalizing evidence in the city’s most sensational homicide case—and accused a police investigator of “invent[ing] facts.”
In an October 8 filing first reported by the INDY and The 9th Street Journal, Judge Orlando F. Hudson wrote that he had suppressed evidence against Alexander Bishop, a teenager accused of strangling his wealthy father last year, because the statements lead investigator Tony Huelsman gave when applying for search warrants were made “in reckless disregard of the truth.”

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Durham district attorney dismissed on Thursday a murder charge against a teen accused of killing his father in 2018, according to the teen's defense attorney.
Alexander Bishop, then 16, had been charged in the high-profile death of Durham developer William Leslie Bishop, who was also a prominent figure in the Tampa Bay, Florida, area.
The DA's office dropped the charge, citing insufficient evidence to prosecute.
