Today's riddle: Why was the scarecrow given an award? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Dallas cold case arrest made in 1993 capital murder investigation – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (nbcdfw.com) — Dallas residents are learning that police have arrested a suspect in the 1993 murder of Tommie Davis at her Haskell Avenue home, after new DNA testing linked blood at the scene to a man now identified as Gary Len Ross. Detectives say the renewed investigation and forensic work led to a capital murder charge, with Ross currently held at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center.
• Botham Jean's family fights to make Dallas pay $98.65 million judgment against Guyger (kansas.com) — Dallas readers may see their city back in court as Botham Jean's family pushes to have Dallas, not former officer Amber Guyger, pay a $98.65 million federal judgment over his killing. The new lawsuit argues the city's insurance coverage and police staffing practices make it responsible, while city attorneys insist governmental immunity and exclusions for criminal acts shield Dallas from paying.
• Federal Judge Rules Warrantless Flock Search Violated Fourth Amendment (dallasexpress.com) — Dallas residents should know a recent Oklahoma ruling found warrantless searches of historical Flock license plate data unconstitutional, raising questions about how similar systems are used here. While the decision doesn't bind Texas courts, it comes as Dallas adjusts its network of state- and locally funded Flock cameras and outlines internal safeguards for police searches.
