The one-page letter does not give a reason for the board’s decision to "reconsider" pardoning George Floyd for a 2004 drug conviction.

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles declined a request that George Floyd be granted a posthumous pardon for a 2004 drug arrest made by a now-indicted ex-Houston police officer.

In 2004, Floyd was arrested for selling $10 worth of crack and sentenced to 10 months in prison. The ex-Houston police officer who arrested Floyd is now facing murder charges for a deadly 2019 drug raid.

Attorney Michael Doyle said the families decided to remove the officers and Acevedo from the lawsuit in order to avoid further delays.

Attorneys for the families of two people who were killed during a botched Houston Police Department raid held a news conference Tuesday, continuing to demand justice in their deaths.

A Houston man convicted on drug charges after testimony by former officer Gerald Goines is one step closer to having his case dismissed.

Frederick Jeffrey will be released Friday on a personal recognizance bond (PR bond) after serving five years in prison.

A man charged with possession of controlled substance has been reversed due to findings of perjury and false evidence that was presented by former Houston Police Department Officer Gerald Goines, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office said.

The dangerous tactic has grown as judges routinely authorize requests for the raids, which police say can prevent violence and preserve evidence.

The mural was unveiled by We the People Organize, a group created in the wake of Rhogena Nicholas' and Dennis Tuttle's deaths in 2019.

Floyd could still be eligible for a pardon at a later date, but it's not clear if Abbott was still considering the request.

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles unanimously recommended a posthumous pardon for a 2004 drug arrest made by a now-indicted ex-Houston police officer whose case history is under scrutiny following a deadly drug raid.

It was not clear when Abbott would decide the fate of the request.

Gov. Greg Abbott must either approve or reject the parole board’s decision. The 2004 case involved a Houston officer later found to have lied to obtain a search warrant in a 2019 case.

Gallegos remains charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, along with 9 former members of HPD narcotics squad 15.

A woman was sentenced on Tuesday to three years and four months in federal prison for making false 911 calls that ultimately resulted in a 2019 drug raid by Houston police that killed both homeowners. Patricia Garcia was the first person to be sentenced in connection with the deadly raid in which Dennis Tuttle, 59, and his wife, Rhogena Nicholas, 58, were fatally shot on Jan. 28, 2019. A dozen current and former officers tied to the narcotics unit that conducted the drug raid have been indicted in state and federal court in the wake of the shooting.

The woman who pleaded guilty to a charge of false information and hoaxes after the Harding Street police raid is due to be sentenced Tuesday.

Steven Bryant is the first officer to be convicted in the wake of the raid.

The ruling came during the civil case filed by the family of Pecan Park residents Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nichols, who were shot and killed during a no-knock drug raid orchestrated by disgraced former Houston Police officer Gerald Goines.

It’s one of many cases under review that involved disgraced former Houston police officer Gerald Goines.

The five members of Harris County Commissioners Court unanimously approved the resolution in support of the pardon request, which was submitted last month to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Top leaders in the Texas county where George Floyd grew up are supporting a resolution calling for him to be posthumously pardoned for a 2004 drug arrest by a former Houston police officer now facing murder charges in a separate case.

A posthumous pardon for George Floyd of a 17-year-old drug conviction has been requested by Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg.

Seventeen years after Floyd’s arrest by a notorious Houston cop, his family is seeking a pardon.

HOUSTON – A 16-year-old drug case involving George Floyd was among the hundreds of cases connected to ex-Houston police Officer Gerald Goines that are being reviewed by prosecutors, according to Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg. Cases involving Goines were questioned after he was charged with murder and tampering with a government record in connection with the 2019 raid on a Harding Street home that ended with officers shooting and killing Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas. County prosecutors have said they anticipate having to clear more than 100 cases involving Goines. Ogg said Floyd’s case was among the cases that prosecutors were working to clear. Floyd’s case is also among the 14,000 cases involving the Houston Police Department’s narcotics division that are also being reviewed, Ogg said.

HOUSTON – Harris District Attorney Kim Ogg recommended Thursday 91 cases tied to former Houston Police Department officer Gerald Goines be dismissed. In turn, those judges signed warrants based on Goines’ testimony, Ogg said. Those alleged lies became the framework for cases against people and warrants signed by magistrate judges. Douglas acknowledged the fact that different magistrate judges signed Goines’ warrants over the years. While the request has been denied, Douglas believes the Goines case speaks to the need for the board to be established.

HOUSTON – Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced Thursday that nearly 100 more defendants who were convicted as part of a case made by former Houston police Officer Gerald Goines will be cleared. Goines has been charged with murder and tampering with a government record following the botched Harding Street raid that left Rhogena Nicholas, Dennis Tuttle and the couple’s dog dead. As a result of the investigation into the raid, Ogg said prosecutors have reviewed several of Goines’ cases and will be overturning at least 91 additional convictions. “We will continue to work to clear people convicted solely on the word of a police officer who we can no longer trust,” Ogg said. According to Ogg, 73 cases where Goines was the only witness were previously overturned.

HOUSTON – Former HPD officer Gerald Goines was indicted on felony murder and tampering with a government record charges following the botched Harding Street Raid. The botched raid caused an investigation to be opened into Goines’ past, and two men convicted because of Goines have been declared innocent. According to District Attorney Kim Ogg, the ongoing investigation has now revealed that 69 people may have been convicted because of false evidence presented by the former narcotics officer. "I don’t think there could be a more important or serious problem to fix in our justice system right now,” said Ogg. Goines was the only witness to the offenses in all the cases, according to the release.

HOUSTON – The woman accused of making fake 911 calls, setting into motion the events of the botched Jan. 2019 Harding Street raid that left two people dead, was taken into custody Tuesday after violating the terms of her bond. Patricia Ann Garcia, 53, appeared in court Tuesday and was taken into custody after allegedly violating the conditions of her bond. She allegedly told officials her daughter was inside of the Harding Street home with heavily armed drug dealers. On Jan. 28, 2019, Rhogena Nicholas and Dennis Tuttle were killed when several police officers burst into their home at 7815 Harding Street. After officers shot the couple’s dog, Tuttle began firing at officers and they returned fire, killing both Nicholas and Tuttle, officials say.

HOUSTON – A judge said Monday that she will recommend that a man convicted 11 years ago based on the testimony of ex-Houston Police officer Gerald Goines, should be exonerated. Disgraced ex-officer Goines, who is now accused in the botched 2019 Harding Street drug raid, gave testimony that resulted in Mallet’s conviction. Judge Ramona Franklin’s decision came after hearing evidence that Goines gave false testimony during Mallet’s trial. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg joined with Mallet’s defense team to ask the judge to declare Mallet innocent. The Mallet case is one of 14,000 cases worked by Goines that are currently under review by the DA’s office.

A botched raid resulted in multiple Houston Police Department officers being shots and two homeowners killed.

HOUSTON – A Harris County grand jury handed down indictments against two former Houston police officers Wednesday for their involvement in the botched Harding Street raid, according to Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg. Only the prosecutors who brought the charges are allowed to go into the grand jury and It is not a surprise that the grand jury stamped off on the charges the DA originally brought. We look forward to our day in court.”BackgroundOn Jan. 28, Rhogena Nicholas and Dennis Tuttle were killed when several police officers burst into their home at 7815 Harding Street. After officers shot the couple’s dog, Tuttle began firing at officers and they returned fire, killing both Nicholas and Tuttle, officials say. She allegedly told officials her daughter was inside the home on Harding Street with heavily armed drug dealers.

HOUSTON – The former Houston police officer accused in the botched Harding Street raid is now accused of perjury in a case that dates back more than a decade. Gerald Goines made a brief appearance in court Thursday after Otis Mallet, a man Goines arrested 12 years ago claimed Goines perjured testimony, causing Mallet to be wrongfully convicted. Mallet alleges that Goines lied on the stand and withheld evidence that should have been made available to Mallet’s trial lawyer. “We agree that false testimony was given by G. Goins in the trial of Mr. Mallet back in 2008," Ogg said. A subpoena was issued for Goines in this case but he did not appear in court Thursday morning, saying he was recovering from surgery after he was injured in the Harding Street Raid.

HOUSTON – KPRC 2 has learned a grand jury has visited the Harding Street site, where a deadly shootout with Houston Police Department happened in January 2019. KPRC 2 saw Harris County Constable Precinct 1 deputies and representatives from the Harris County District Attorney’s Office at the home. Transported via shuttle, the grand jury was taken inside the home for approximately a 20-minute tour. A botched January raid at a home on Harding Street led to a months’ long investigation and three people charged in connection with the deaths of Rhogena Nicholas and Dennis Tuttle. "That the grand jury is given an opportunity to see Rhogena and Dennis’ home is welcome news, but we also know that an independent forensic evaluation of the Harding Street incident is vitally necessary.”

Two former Houston Police Department officers, Gerald Goines and Steven Bryant, and the neighbor who called 911, Patricia Garcia, are all accused of federal crimes. Twenty-seven pending cases involving officers Goines and Bryant were eventually dropped. The FBI also launched a civil rights investigation into the botched raid in February. If convicted of federal charges, Goines faces up to life in prison. Bryant is charged with falsifying records in a federal investigation.

HOUSTON – Gerald Goines, the former Houston police officer charged in connection with a deadly police raid earlier this year, admitted that he screwed up, according to his handwritten notes that are part of court records released last week. The 10-page document includes notes Goines wrote to investigators who were questioning him after the Jan. 28 raid that ended with the deaths of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas. On page seven, Goines wrote:“I screw up because I made a buy without the correct manpower out there. Goines, who is accused of lying on documents that were used to obtain the warrant for the raid, was released Thursday after being granted bail by a federal judge.
