This is the only reason Greg agreed with the Parole Board's unanimous recommendation. Mr. Whitaker (father) was begging for his son's life. He had already suffered enough by losing his wife and son. I really wanted the guy executed, but I can understand why the Parole Board and Gov. Abbott made the decision.

I think those asking already know, but the term "COP killer bullets" was used to refer to AP rounds. As WTR noted, some people claimed Teflon-coated bullets and Nyclad bullets were AP rounds.
