Attorneys for a former Houston police officer charged with murder in connection with a deadly drug raid decried the publicity the case has generated and suggested Wednesday that newly discovered evidence could undermine prosecutors’ claims that the couple who lived at the home were unfairly targeted.

But during a court hearing, prosecutors reiterated that the pair were not drug dealers. They said former Officer Gerald Goines’ actions during the raid were part of a long history of misconduct and lies that resulted in multiple convictions and cases tied to him being overturned or dismissed.

There is no justice for these murders but thankfully; the officer responsible for falsifying documents which resulted in the raid was convicted yesterday of FELONY murder.

Two innocent citizens and their fur~baby gunned down in the sanctity of their home. FIVE years to finally get to trial.

71/2 hours for the Harris County jury to convict.

As a Houstonian I’ll never forget this. HPD within hours blowing up two 1970s photos of this innocent couple to poster size for their press conference. Shame on you. I knew then something wasn’t right…

If this can happen to them; it could happen to any of us.

I only hope he’s sentenced to life.

RIP RHOGENA, DENNIS & sorry fur pupper I can’t recall ur name
