That's what you get, pig.
[FONT="]A Texas Grand Jury failed to indict a cannabis grower over the death of a police SWAT team officer, because he believed he was being burgled during a police raid.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Burleson County Sgt. Adam Sowders was shot dead in the early hours of December 19th, 2013, by Henry Goedrich Magee, while executing a search warrant on the man’s home. Law enforcement claimed Magee had large amounts of “marijuana” in his property, as well as illegal firearms.[/FONT]
[FONT="]A jury heard how the SWAT team may have failed to make their presence known before bursting in to the house, and Magee immediately fired at the intruders, killing Sgt. Sowders in the process.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Remarkably the other officers did not return deadly fire and Magee was apprehended. No illegal firearms were uncovered, but they did find a small number of cannabis plants, which the defendant claims were for personal use.[/FONT]
[FONT="]He was indicted on both drug and weapons charges, despite his guns being legally owned, because in the presence of illegal drugs weapons automatically become an accessory to the crime.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The jury however would not indict him for the death of Sgt. Sowders because they could not be convinced that he was aware the intruders were law enforcement.[/FONT]
[FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]“He did what a lot of people would have done,” said Magee’s attorney Dick DeGuerin. “He defended himself and his girlfriend and his home.”[/FONT]
[FONT="]Julie Renken, the district attorney for Burleson County says that she believes the officers knocked and made an announcement, but because it all went down so fast, Magee may legitimately have been unaware of what was taking place.[/FONT]
[FONT="]If convicted of third degree felony weapon and drug charges, Magee will still face a mandatory prison sentence, between a minimum of two or maximum of ten years.
DeGuerin says he “could not immediately remember another example of a Texas grand jury declining to indict a defendant in the death of a law enforcement officer.”
