Harris County jury returns verdict for husband of fired deputy in diner choking case

Source: Houston Chronicle

A Harris County jury Monday convicted the husband of a former county deputy of murder in the high-profile death of a young Houston father who was fatally choked at a Crosby-area Denny’s.

Terry Thompson, 42, who faces up to life in prison, was convicted of murdering 24-year-old John Hernandez last year after placing him a chokehold that left him brain dead.

Jurors spent 12 hours deliberating Thompson's guilt, and rejected his defense team's contention he was acting in self-defense. They deliberated seven hours Friday and returned Monday morning to continue.

It is the second time the notorious case has gone to trial. In June, the first trial ended in a mistrial after a hung jury was unable to reach a verdict

Finally, this case begged for justice. The victim was 5'7" and weighed 127 pounds. The murderer was a bodybuilder and weighed at least 250 lbs.

Harris County, Texas Dirty Trick

I went to the Harris County, TX voter information website - harrisvotes.org to try to find a friend's precinct so he could go vote on Tuesday and they have redesigned the website right before the election and I am unable to find where they have put the list of Precincts Locations.

This seems like an awful convenient way to suppress the election day vote. I tried to call Harris County Democratic Party and got a message that they were either closed or busy working to get Democrats elected. They suggested I send an email or call tomorrow. I guess I'll send an email.

I did find the address, but had to try several different links - one of which had the same information on Election Day as they had under Early Voting.
