Ive been reviewing a few Texas criminal defense attorney websites that contain blogs where the attorneys offer information on legal subjects such as grand juries and self-defense. Some note that it is possible to convince the DA to allow the defense lawyer to provide a grand jury packet of legal briefs, affidavits, and evidence or exhibits in favor of the potential defendant. One noted that if your attorney feels your SD case is strong and he has a good working relationship with the DA, he should present this to the DA early in an effort to convince the DA to present it to the GJ as well and head off an indictment right at the source. Conversely, if your case is shaky, skip this effort and keep your cards close to the vest until trial.

This sounds familiar -- it happened back in May -- but I don't see it in this forum, so here goes:

Per HPD:

"A preliminary investigation revealed the residents were asleep in their bed when they were awakened by a loud noise. While investigating the cause of the noise, they noticed their backyard gate was opened and saw a male (suspect) in their back yard," police said in a statement released on Monday.


"The suspect then forced his way and gained entry into the residence. The residents, in fear for their lives, discharged their firearms several times, striking the suspect," the statement read.

Couple called 911. Suspect died on scene.

As usual cops said will be presented to grand jury, have seen no news accounts about that, but I suspect they did not have anything to worry about.
