Man Who Killed Deputy During No-Knock Raid is No-Billed By Grand Jury

He will probably end up "committing suicide" while jailed on the MJ charges. Or they will bring it back before another GJ some how. No way they will just let him get away with it.

Man Charged With Killing Burleson County Deputy No-Billed by Grand Jury

WASHINGTON COUNTY A Somerville man, charged with Capital Murder in the shooting death of a Burleson County Sheriff's Deputy, has been no-billed by a Grand Jury.

28-year-old Henry Magee was charged with Capital Murder, but Magee's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, confirmed to News 3 Thursday morning that the charge is being dropped.

Magee was indicted for Possession of Marijuana by the same grand jury. He is now waiting on bond to be set at the Washington County Jail.

Magee was accused of shooting and killing Burleson County Sheriff's Deputy Adam Sowders in a "no-knock" raid on Decemeber 19, 2013. Information released January 14th on the raid near Somerville, revealed what deputies were searching for inside Magee's mobile home.

In the process of executing that search warrant, Sowders was shot and killed. The Burleson County Sheriff's Office says the search warrant was issued after an informant claimed Magee had stolen guns and illegal drugs inside his mobile home. The informant had been arrested days earlier, but said he had been in Magee's home as recently as the day of his arrest and saw the drugs.

Magee's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, has said Magee fired shots in an effort to defend himself, his pregnant girlfriend and his property from unknown intruders.

Texas Rangers were called in to collect evidence. Inside Magee's home, they say they found a sophisticated marijuana grow operation and several firearms.

DeGuerin has said all weapons found were legally owned.

All odds, defied. Unbelievable. I would never guessed it in 1,000,000 years. Just the fact that he was holding a gun and survived is amazing, let alone the fact that he got off a shot, let alone that he took an officer out, let alone that he manged to make it through the system with his freedom. How often does that really happen?

Thanks be to government that we have these drugs laws... else a murderer would be free.

Maybe the Grand Jury has ulterior motives not yet revealed to the mundanes.

[Pericles]

As mentioned when it happened, this is the lawyer you want: Dick DeGuerin Google his background - takes on the ATF and feds on more than one occasion.

[Anti Federalist]

That is one of the frustrating aspects of the police state.

Completely and utterly arbitrary.

The next Mundane will get the book thrown at him.

But good for this man, brave and lucky at the same time.

Hope he makes it through OK.

A Grand Jury is composed of mundanes.

Should be,, but not usually.

It is usually a stacked deck of the privileged class.

I would totally forget the name though AF, that's why I have to subscribe as a way to track it. Totally agree though, a very good call.

Maybe it's different in every state, but in Georgia you can't serve on a grand jury if you currently hold an office, or have within the past 2 years (I think that was the time frame).

I think it's kind of weird that the jury found fault with the marijuana but not with shooting the cop.

Just Imagine the total costs to the taxpayers of this monstrosity of this statist disaster from beginning to end. Millions when it's over...

They are selected randomly from voter registration rolls here and counsel for the defense can conduct voir dire Prejudice in favor of the state is grounds for disqualification per statute. So, no. Grand Juries are not composed of cops, judges, prosecutors, or other officials likely to be prejudiced in favor of the state. At least not here. And probably not most places in the US.

Where I live, you volunteer to be a member of the Grand Jury. When called for jury duty, the Judge who manages that court usually asks if anyone is interested in Grand Jury service.
