Witnesses state that the gunman shot Goforth in the back of the head to begin, then after the officer fell to the ground Miles continued to fire into his back.
The formal charge (placed below) states that:
SHANNON J. MILES, hereinafter styled the Defendant, heretofore on or about August 28, 2015, did then and there unlawfully, intentionally, and knowingly cause the death of D. GOFORTH, hereafter styled the Complainant, a PEACE OFFICER in the lawful discharge of an official duty, by SHOOTING THE COMPLAINANT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON NAMELY A FIREARM, knowing at the time that the Complainant was a PEACE OFFICER.
Harris County DA Devon Anderson, a former criminal district court judge and prosecutor, will be trying the capital murder case against Miles.
The decision whether or not to seek the death penalty will be determined later, said a spokesman with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, issued an order that all flags in Harris County be flown at half-staff in honor of the slain deputy.
“Texas has sustained a deliberate and heinous crime against a law enforcement officer in Harris County,” Governor Abbott said in a letter to Harris County Judge Ed Emmett. “Texans revere the men and women in law enforcement who put their lives on the line every day to protect and service their communities. As such, it is fitting that Texas flags should be lowered to half-staff in memory of this dedicated and brave deputy sheriff.”
I agree 100%.
Why say alleged when they have him on film killing Deputy Goforth?
I don’t like this word, “alleged”. What the heck does this mean? This guy is either the murderer or he is not. We’re there witnesses or did he confess? Was there DNA? How can an “alleged” person face the death pently?
Get a rope.
They can always practice several times to make sure they get it right.
And 25 years of appeals.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was
ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her
mom and her dad. She got so
bad she went
to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided
that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to
kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were
using went wrong.
And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every
week on the day of her death she returns to the person that
reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps
into
your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed
to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she
will haunt someone else who doesn’t. This
