Nice to see juries reach a good verdict sometimes -- my title may be wrong, just read elsewhere that the SWAT goon wasn't actually hit, the bullet went through his pants leg (may be why they allowed the shooter to live).

Jury finds Perryman not guilty on all counts

SAN ANTONIO - After nine hours of deliberation, a jury has found Adrian Perryman, 52, not guilty on all four counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer charges.
He was accused of shooting and wounding a member of SAPD’s Tactical Response Unit during a raid on Perryman’s home in the 1200 block of West Magnolia in the pre-dawn hours of October 26, 2010.
Whether police announced their arrival during a raid at the home of Perryman was the key point of disagreement during closing arguments Tuesday during Perryman’s trial.
“He said he didn’t hear, ‘Police, police - - search warrant,’" Perryman’s attorney Tony Jimenez told the jury.
During testimony last week Perryman’s girlfriend Rebecca Flores testified that she tossed Perryman a gun when police broke down the door to his home fearing it was a home invasion.
“The door goes down – he shoots,” Jimenez argued. “Was it in the direction of police? Did he know they were police?”
Prosecutors reminded the jury of the testimony of several officers last week. Testimony they argued that calls into question Perryman’s account of the events that night.
They testified that they shouted, “Police! Police!” as they came through the door and again once inside the home.
