Jury rights case in Houston ends with prison terms sought
In a federal civil rights trial in Houston, three former patrolmen face life penalties for the death of Joe Campos Torres after he was pushed into Buffalo Bayou following a tavern disturbance. Prosecutors depicted the officers as looking for amusement while Torres resisted, while defense argued force was necessary for protection. Public notices list funeral services for several local residents today.
