Conviction for $10 crack buy, based on casework of disgraced ex-HPD cop Goines, is overturned
This is pathetic! This sounds like a blatant case of entrapment. After the first attempt failed she went to a second locationA 35-year-old woman who pleaded guilty to drug dealing after a Houston police officer said he paid her $10
to buy a rock of crack cocaine has had her conviction overturned. Court records show that in March 2017,
Goines approached Scott -- a homeless woman with a history of mental illness and a lengthy record of petty
crimes -- and asked her to help him buy $10 of crack cocaine.
The recent court action marks the latest time local judges have reversed convictions won on the testimony
of former officer Gerald Goines, the veteran Houston Police Department narcotics officer now facing
charges after investigators accused him of lying to obtain a warrant used in a deadly drug raid last year.
Legal experts applaud Harris County District Attorney for seeking to overturn cases tied to former HPD officer

But that 2004 conviction was only a 10-month sentence for delivery of a controlled substance. Will posthumous relief for that mean much to the family when Floyd had 8 other Harris County convictions and had just served 5 years for a 1st degree felony armed home invasion before deciding to move to Minnesota?A 16-year-old drug case involving George Floyd was among the hundreds of cases connected to ex-Houston policeOgg: Case involving George Floyd was among Goines cases being reviewed by prosecutors

The author, Tulsi Kamath, needs to go back to school. Hard to believe she was part of Pulitzer finalist team. I'll bet she can't even spell Pulitzer. Calling LDB415- Hey!
