Former HPD officer sued over wrongful conviction

In a clear expose of police misconduct, James Ybarra has sued Houston Police Department (HPD) officer Gerald Goines and the City of Houston in a federal civil rights case. Ybarra's felony conviction, overturned by the Texas Supreme Court, sheds light on a pattern of false evidence and drug planting orchestrated by Goines, implicating at least 18 other cases.
