HOUSTON - The attorney for Gerald Goines, the man who was found guilty of murder in the deaths of two people following the botched Harding Street Raid, has filed a motion for a new trial.

According to court documents, "On October 25, 2024, the plaintiffs in the federal civil case about this incident filed a trial exhibits list, disclosing to the public, and thereby to Mr. Goines for the first time, that they are in possession of complainant Dennis Tuttle's cell phone. This phone was withheld from the State and from Mr. Goines, and he has not had an opportunity to examine it."
