A former Houston police officer, Gerald Goines, is on trial for the January 2019 murders of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas, who were killed during a raid facilitated by a 'no-knock' warrant Goines secured through false claims. Prosecutor Keaton Forcht argued that Goines lied about having an informant purchase heroin from the couple, which he later changed to claiming he made the purchase himself. The investigation into the couple was initially prompted by false 911 calls from a neighbor, who was later convicted for her lies. Goines’ attorney acknowledged the lies but contended they do not warrant a murder conviction, placing blame on the victims instead. Forcht emphasized the lack of evidence supporting Goines' claims and noted that only small amounts of marijuana and cocaine were found in the home, arguing that Goines created a dangerous situation based on deceit.
