Draggingtree Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 leoncountytoday.com/: Leon County jury convicts inmate in capital murder trial by Vanessa Goodwyn December 1, 2009 Judge Kenneth Keeling’s District 278 courtroom in Centerville was packed to overflowing on Monday morning for the closing arguments in the capital murder trial of Jerry Duane Martin (39). The gallery consisted mostly of officers from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice correctional facility in Huntsville who were hoping for a verdict that would honor the sacrifice of Susan Canfield, a prison officer who was killed in the line of duty on September 24, 2007. Canfield (59) was a mounted guard on the morning that Martin and John Ray Falk attempted to escape from the onion field where they were assigned to work. Late in the morning, Squad 5 had worked their way close to the facility’s boundry, and just beyond it was the Huntsville City Service Center where a truck was parked. Martin wrestled a gun from the field boss, who was a new correctional officer. He tossed the gun to Falk, then ran to the pickup. Falk exchanged fire with officers, ran out of ammunition, and as Canfield approached on horseback, he engaged her to get her rifle. Martin approached in the one-ton Ford pickup and struck Canfield and her horse, and the 59-year-old officer was killed. read more http://www.leoncountytoday.com/ Rant The reason I posted this is Jerry D. Martin was found guilty and put to death, his partner John R. Falk as of this date has not even been brought to trial, This Judge in Walker County, Tx. needs to be voted out of office Unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
