The Harris County, TX, District Attorney is once again seeking the death penalty against a convicted cop killer who won a new punishment trial nearly three decades after the slaying of a Houston police officer.
Shelton Jones was originally sent to death row for the April 1991 murder of Officer Bruno D. Soboleski, who was mortally shot during a traffic stop, but a federal district court overturned Jones' sentence in light of bad jury instructions, reports the Houston Chronicle .
"We put police officers in harm's way to protect us from violence, and it is our duty to forever protect society from this killer," District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement Monday. "Sgt. Soboleski's family was forever changed by this horrific attack, and no matter how long it takes, Jones deserves the ultimate punishment."
