Robbery suspect found dead after gunbattle
By S.K. BARDWELL
Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle

Police say a man found shot to death in south Houston early today is believed to a would-be robber who exchanged gunfire with a homeowner's son a couple hours earlier.

A woman who lives on Darlinghurst near Fleetwell told police she saw four armed, masked men breaking into a nearby vacant home about 11 p.m. Monday, and called her son to come to her house.

When he arrived, police said he retrieved a gun from his mother's house and the two went outside to check on the suspected burglars but suddenly found themselves confronted by the group.

Police said the woman was grabbed by one of the armed men and held briefly. When she struggled free, her son exchanged gunfire with the men as they ran away, police said.

Police called to investigate the incident began a search of the area and, about 1 a.m., the body of a gunshot victim was found in the back yard of a home five houses from where the skirmish took place.

Police said evidence probably will be referred to a grand jury without charges."

Since it does not appear to have been their house, I am not sure how smart they were checking it out on their own. It could have turned out real bad for the mom and son. But well one more bad guy out of the system. Hope the son does not get hit in civil court.

This is where I have to wonder. This is going to a grand jury without charges. Why would I need to hire a lawyer if there are no charges filed against me? :?

If you feel certain enough that the GJ won't indict, don't. If you want to have some clue of things you should or should not say to the GJ, and if you want to be ready should they actually indict you, maybe you should. If you only hire an attorney AFTER they indict you, then he or she has to deal with the mistakes you made in front of the GJ
