Grand Jury System
We’re having to Indict too many Repeaters
Who Aren’t Staying in Prison Long Enough
(Editor’s note: The editor of the Badge & Gun experienced the honor and privilege
of serving as foreman of a Harris County grand jury late in 2010. Here is his account of the state of the grand jury system.)
BY TOM KENNEDY
There is no better way to get a first-hand view of criminal justice in Harris County
than to serve on a grand jury. Too bad that each one of the five grand juries that
serve three-month terms are not required to submit reports of their activities in order to detail the current crime trends and criminal defendant status.
Undoubtedly the most revealing trend of today is that grand juries here keep indicting the same people, usually for the same offenses but often for worse crimes
further up the ladder of felonious activities.
Rehabs? Get Real!
Serving as foreman of a recent grand jury, I can report that my fellow grand jurors
indicted people with previous records approximately 95 percent of the time. And,
by the way, there are no hiding criminal records in the grand jury process. It’s all
there in the folder alongside the “probable cause” evidence in the latest case.
In our three-month term we only saw evidence of two or three “rehabilitations.”
Otherwise, there was a constant flow of repeat offenders who often “graduated”
from serving time for third degree felonies to now being indicted for a first- or
second-degree offense.
Texas and Harris County does a lousy job of rehabbing. We simply don’t have the
money for it. Nor do we have the funding to keep those sterling citizens known both
officially and unofficially as “career criminals” in prison for longer periods of time.
Consequently, we encountered a defendant who had served time for aggravated
sexual assault. He was out on parole and raped an 80-year-old woman who had
just had hip replacement surgery. It happened during the aggravated burglary of the
woman’s home.
April 2011
acted as 12 independent individuals who would vote up or down depending on the
evidence presented. The no-bills required more time and deliberation, often entailing testimony from witnesses sworn to tell the truth under the automatic threat of
perjury charges.
Thirty-three percent of the no-bills involved family violence or violent crimes
against children – reflective of another disturbing trend of today. Our society still
has problems with treating children more like victims or targets of abuse than as the
loving blessings they should be to the people who bring them into the world.
And here are two other trends everyone should know about.
For one, state law now requires long prison terms and eases the compilation of
strong evidence against child pornographers. The evidence we heard about the seizure of computer hard drives would be scary enough to discourage the high-tech
use and sharing of child porn anywhere around these parts.
Officers Get Tougher
The cases against child pornographers generally never come before grand juries.
The defendants fear the embarrassment of court testimony that usually includes very
convincing evidence. So they cop a plea and start serving what usually amounts to
substantial prison time in the range of 25 years.
There is at least one other trend. It shouldn’t be surprising to know that it’s also
sex-related.
There is no more diligent enforcement of any state law than the one requiring sex
offenders to regularly report any change of address to authorities. Each of us got
this strong impression. On a regular basis we heard failure-to-report cases of registered sex offenders after diligent efforts of law enforcement officers. An indictment
could lead to parole revocation.
The point: once you commit a sex crime it stays with you for the rest of your life
and in Harris County you have the law breathing down your neck at any sign of
suspicious activities. You are listed by ZIP Code on the Internet and all your neighbors know who you are.
Our grand jury trends were not without paradox. These very few cases did involve
“rehabs” of a sort.
Being human, my fellow grand jurors and I wanted to try the case and delve into
the punishment phase. Alas, that was not our job. We stuck to the facts better than
Joe Friday and ultimately decided probable cause that a law had been violated – the
standard of measure for a criminal indictment in Texas.
We no-billed a sex offender whose circumstances indicated that he was living at an
unreported address. We heard evidence of those residential circumstances as well
as saw testimony that he had put his life back together with a job that enabled him
to support three young children.
We had a certified public accountant serving as secretary. Retired from one of the
nation’s top chemical companies, she kept track of our record. Meeting two days a
week throughout August, September and October, we issued 1,407 indictments and
63 no-bills (4 percent overall).
You might say that we went to the movies for one of the most paradoxical trend in
our term.
We used a rubber stamp but we were nobody’s rubber stamp. Our rule was that we

Don't Believe A Word He Says
A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding
and has the following exchange:
Officer: May I see your driver’s license?
Driver: I don’t have one. I had it suspended
when I got my 5th DUI.
Officer: May I see the owner’s card for this
vehicle?
Driver: It’s not my car. I stole it.
Officer: The car is stolen?
Driver: That’s right. But come to think of it,
I think I saw the owner’s card in the glove box
when I was putting my gun in there.
Officer: There’s a gun in the glove box?
Driver: Yes sir. That’s where I put it after I
shot and killed the woman who owns this car
and stuffed her in the trunk.
Officer: There’s a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?
Driver: Yes, sir.
Hearing this, the officer immediately called
his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by
police, and the captain approached the driver
to handle the tense situation:
Captain: Sir, can I see your license?
Driver: Sure. Here it is.
It was valid.
Captain: Who’s car is this?
Driver: It’s mine, officer. Here’s the registration.
Captain: Could you slowly open your glove
box so I can see if there’s a gun in it?
Driver: Yes, sir, but there’s no gun in it.
Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove
box.
Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk?
I was told you said there’s a body in it.
Driver: No problem.
Trunk is opened; no body.
Captain: I don’t understand it. The officer
who stopped you said you told him you didn’t
have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the
glovebox, and that there was a dead body in
the trunk.
Driver: Yeah, I’ll bet he told you I was speeding, too.

video and one killer who literally flattened his victim with his onrushing automobile tires at a convenience store on
the southwest side.
Video evidence frequently went hand in
hand with forensics and the eyewitness
testimony fully documented in wellwritten police reports. As all officers
know, video cameras are all over the
place in Houston. Without them many
small businesses would go belly-up due
to losses in hold-ups. Now they have
motion-activated deterrents in place.
Grand Jury Process
Seldom does an evening newscast unfurl without still shots or movies of
robbers and shooters on video. Quite
simply, this is a way of everyday life in
criminal justice.
That’s why it was so ironic in this context that Houstonians voted down the
red light cameras, thereby dumping a
policing maneuver that had proven to
alter the behavior of speeding drivers all
over town. (I won’t go into the obvious
funding ramifications).
Believe me, when you sit as a grand juror and hear the details of crimes against
innocent human beings, you crave ev-
ery possible deterrent. While too many
proven criminals are getting second
and third chances to repeat, why are so
many qualified voters ignoring the common sense moves by our government to
make society safer?
Some of us assert that “my rights are
being violated” with the presence of so
many cameras. Whose rights are we really protecting? At times prosecutors
told us in some individual cases that
without the video evidence the case
against the defendant would be too flimsy for a felony charge and possibly not
even a misdemeanor.
A video camera recorded at least a portion of the deadly Tucson shootings. We
haven’t seen it at this stage, but you can
bet it will play a part in the prosecution
of the shooter.
You can’t address the issues of video
cameras, repeat criminals and the details of today’s criminal justice process
– particularly funding – without mentioning the grand jury process. Just how
are grand juries picked?
This should be an issue addressed by
the voters but, alas, they are too mired
in a straight-ticket mud-slinging to even
give a cursory examination of the methods used by judges to pick a diverse
grand jury of persons of sound mind,
free of felony convictions or accusa-

tions, etc.
Criminal district judges get to choose
grand juries once every year or year
and a half. Some judges carefully pick
and choose from lists provided by grand
jury commissioners. They might be personally acquainted with some of these
people. Other judges have even gone to
the regular Harris County jury pool to
pick grand jurors at random.
Do these various tactics produce the
best and brightest grand jurors?
This is an excellent question at a juncture in history when any violent event
with a hint of racial overtones prompts
minority elected officials to call for a
police review committee or commission
with subpoena power. If such an assemblage were appointed, how many of its
members would be there with a political
agenda?
Yes, it will be interesting to see if the
new review commissions established by
the mayor will develop their own agendas. At least I hope they never get subpoena powers.
Staying on Course
We already have such subpoena-backed
body in place. It’s called a grand jury.
That’s why the grand jury selection process should be an issue in judicial elec-
tions, much more so than party affiliations and straight-ticket voting.
I’d wager that in the last election no
candidate for a criminal judgeship was
even asked a question about grand jury
selection during the campaign.
Our grand jury had seven men and five
women, two African Americans and two
Hispanics. More importantly, none of us
had a political agenda and each of us
spoke and voted independently in each
case. We served under Judge Mike McSpadden, probably the most widely respected jurists in the Courthouse if not
the state of Texas.
McSpadden knew each one of his grand
jurors and trusted them to make fair decisions. We didn’t disappoint him, in my
opinion.
We stayed on course in spite of taking an
exceptionally strong offense against the
practice of indicting the same offenders
over and over again – especially those
like the parole-freed burglar who raped
a senior citizen in the process of recovering from hip replacement surgery.
Our vote was unanimous. And it was
loud, too.

Sheriff's Posse wins
honors in "Pony
Express" ride
Special to The Police News
GALVESTON COUNTY - Two teams
from the Galveston County Sheriff's Office Mounted Posse recently took top
spots in the 2011 "Pony Express" ride
from Houston to Austin.
Capt. B. T. Joseph and Deputy Marilyn Griffin took top honors, while Sgt.
Carl Robacker and Dep. Jimmy McDaniels received the 2nd place trophy.
All four are long-time members of the
Sheriff's Posse, a group of deputy sheriffs highly skilled in utilizing horses for
law enforcement duties.
Each team is scored by judges on several facets of sound horsemanship, as
well as their attire.
Started as a promotional idea in 1949
by Harris County Sheriff's deputies, the
"Pony Express" ride is now made up of
teams from law enforcement agencies
and private organizations throughout
the Houston area, each participating in
the "Old West" tradition of horsemen
relaying important messages across
long distances. Participating teams are
responsible for carrying a message from
Houston to the Governor in Austin, inviting him to attend the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.

have carefully reviewed my options and
considered how to proceed with those

Rest assured, though, I am “on the job”

Citizen Police Seek
Sponsors for August Event
The Texas Citizens Police Academy
Alumni Association Region One is hosting the TCPAAA and Law Enforcement
Annual Training in August of 2011 in
Galveston, Texas. TCPAAA is made up
of all Citizens Police Academy Alumni
Associations throughout the entire State
Of Texas. Region One consists of over
20+ CPA’s located on the upper Texas
Coast from the Sabine River to approximately Victoria, Texas. There are
over 150 chapters with well over 12000
members, state wide, that work through
the year for local policing agencies and
work with the officers, their families,
and their communities.
Once a year, we come together as a
group to share ideas, train on new procedures, and network for three days in
order to better serve the communities in
which we live. In 2011, we will be meeting in Galveston at Moody Gardens.
We are expecting 400-500+ members
and officers to attend. As you can imagine, this is not an inexpensive endeavor.
We are asking our corporate friends and
individuals to help us to defray the cost
of this project.
Your generosity will allow us to bring
in top quality speakers and guest trainers to help to make the annual training a
great success. The theme of the Convention 2011 is Drug Awareness. We will be
focusing on training our member CPA’s
on methods and programs that they can
take back to their communities and implement to help reduce the drug problems throughout the State. There will
also be classes to certify the Sworn Police Officers in procedures to organize
and start more CPA group.

Former Kemah officers 25 Years Ago in
say firings politically Galveston County
motivated, sue city
Petition calls for vote on gambling
The Police News
GALVESTON - Four former Kemah
police officers claim in a lawsuit their
dismissal from the force was politically
motivated.
Erika Yates, Greg Nolan, Rick McCollum and Sam Hodges are all suing the
city of Kemah and Kemah Mayor Matthew D. Wiggins, claiming their First
and Fourteenth Amendment rights were
violated when they were terminated two
years ago.
Their suit was filed March 15 in federal court in Galveston.
In the suit the officers dispute the city's
claims that the firings were in response
to budget constraints in the aftermath of
Hurricane Ike. They say the city fired
them because at an election-related
"meet and greet" they questioned a city
council candidate aligned with Wiggins
about the lack of food and supplies for
the officers during the storm.
They also say the city purchased bicycles and four wheelers and created a
new supervisory position less than two
months after the officers' terminations.
The officers who were members of the
Kemah Police Officer's Association,
were not rehired or even contacted about
returning to the force in accordance to
the city's reduction in force policy.
The former officers seek unspecified
monetary damages and a jury trial.
Attorney Greg Cagle of League City is
representing the officers, and U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth M. Hoyt is
presiding over the case.
The Patch
Two rednecks, Bubba and Earl,
were driving down the road drinking
a couple of bottles of Bud. The passenger, Bubba, said "Lookey thar
up ahead, Earl, it's a police roadblock!! We're gonna get busted fer
drinkin' these here beers!!" "Don't
worry, Bubba," Earl said. "We'll just
pull over and finish drinkin' these
beers then peel off the label and
stick it on our foreheads, and throw
the bottles under the seat." "What
fer?", asked Bubba. "Just let me
do the talkin', OK?," said Earl. Well,
they finished their beers, threw the
empties out of sight & put label on
each of their foreheads. When they
reached the roadblock, the sheriff
said, "You boys been drinkin'?" "No,
sir," said Earl while pointing at the
labels. "We're on the patch."
A group called Businessmen Encouraging Tourism (BET) is seeking a vote
in Galveston on casino gambling on
Seawall Boulevard, according to Sam
Clark, spokesman for the group.
Petitions asking for a referendum on
casino gambling and municipal lotteries
in approved zones in Galveston are being distributed today, Clark said.
He said BET seeks state-controlled legalized gaming on Seawall Boulevard.
Clark said the group is seeking 3,300
signatures on petitions to require the
City Council to place the issue before
the voters at the next election. That
should be a bond issue election in August, he said.
Clark said those who wish to circulate the petitions can pick them up at his
store, Thrifty Liquor Store, at 53rd and
Avenue S.
Clark speaks for a group which is
discussing having a gambling ship sail
from Galveston into international waters, provide gambling and then return
the passengers to the island.
The group believes gaming would provide an influx of tourism and tourist dollars to the city.
“We seek to bring more people and
more tax dollars,” Clark said.
The proposition the group is seeking to
place on city of Galveston ballots at the
next election reads: “Does the City of
Galveston support state-controlled casino gambling and municipal lotteries,
conducted in approved zoning districts
only?”
