‘I Knew He Was Crooked’: DA Found Disgraced Houston Officer Lied To Secure Conviction That Led To A 25-Year Sentence For Homeless Black Man

Every day we talk about America’s filthy dirty cops and the crimes they com­mit, usu­al­ly against mem­bers of the African-American community.

On Friday, July 22, Frederick Jeffery walked out of prison as a free man, after the pre­vi­ous day an inves­ti­ga­tion deter­mined dis­graced ex-Houston police offi­cer Gerald Goines fab­ri­cat­ed a sto­ry that placed Jeffrey, then a home­less Black man with a lengthy drug addic­tion his­to­ry, in the mid­dle of a case he was work­ing on.
