Good question. The short research I have done shows a three year limit for aggravated perjury.philip964 wrote: Fri Jan 10, 2020 10:48 am https://www.click2houston.com/news/loca ... years-ago/
Goines charged with perjury 12 years ago after a man spent two years in prison for cocaine possession. Man has always claimed his innocence and always said Goines lied.
No statute of limitations?

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/h ... 024931.phpJudge declares Houston man 'actually innocent' after reveal that ex-cop Gerald Goines lied
By St. John Barned-Smith Staff writer Feb. 3, 2020 Updated: Feb. 3, 2020 12:26 p.m
A district judge on Monday declared Otis Mallet innocent of the 2008 drug charges that led to his conviction,
after hearing arguments that the case was built on lies by former Houston police officer Gerald Goines.
Harris County prosecutors and defense attorneys for Mallet were in court Monday morning before Judge
Ramona Franklion, asking that Otis Mallet, who was convicted in 2011, be declared innocent.
In a 20-page joint filing, prosecutors and defense attorneys offered a dissection of an alleged drug buy
that led to Mallet’s arrest and conviction. The document alleges that Goines, who was working as an
undercover narcotics officer on the city’s south side, repeatedly lied about nearly every aspect of his
case against Mallet, calling Goines’ account “fraud.”
I don't recall him ever stating any specific 'right' to be there. Yes, she was charged by the Feds.baseballguy2001 wrote: Sun Feb 16, 2020 11:18 pm Just after Goines was charged, didn't Art say, the 911 call gave us (the police) the 'right' to be there? She's been charged by the Feds, not the state correct?

That news conference (on 15 Feb 19) is on Youtube but I'm not going to listen to Art blather on for 35 minutes. Pretty much everything he's said about that raid ends up being contradicted by evidence and further investigation.Houston's police chief said Friday that there appear to be "some material untruths or lies" in an affidavit used to get a warrant for a drug raid that left four officers shot and two people in the home dead.
Police Chief Art Acevedo emphasized that police "had reason to investigate that location" on Harding Street, a raid that ended in a shootout that killed the two occupants, Dennis Tuttle, 59, and Rhogena Nicholas, 58.
https://www.click2houston.com/news/inve ... hats-next/In August, Ogg directly charged Goines with murder and Bryant for tampering with a government document. Hours after the charges were handed down, Acevedo said, “I stand by that. We had probable cause to be there.”

Hours after the federal charges revolving around a false 911 call and tampering with a government document, Acevedo, for a third time, said HPD had reason to be at the home.
