Evidence for search of Leawood home called flimsy
It took a year for Robert and Adlynn Harte to find out why sheriff’s deputies thought they had drugs. They finally have the court documents to explain it, and they show the raid was prompted by two events: the Hartes’ visit to a hydroponics store and tests that deputies did on some leaves they found in the Hartes’ trash. Those tests, the documents show, later proved to be inaccurate. In fact, the Hartes think the leaves were tea. Original post on kansascity.com Comments on reddit.com

Father indicted in death of drunk driver – Houston Chronicle
An Alvin father remained in the Brazoria County Jail Monday, charged with murder in the alleged revenge killing of a drunk driver who plowed into his truck, killing his two young sons last December. David Barajas Sr., 31, a construction worker, is being held in lieu of $450,000 bail in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Jose Inez Banda minutes after the Dec. 7 crash that claimed the lives of Barajas’ 11- and 12-year-old sons. Tests showed Banda’s blood alcohol was twice the legal limit when his Chevrolet Malibu rear-ended the Barajas’ family’s Ford 250 truck that had run out of gas on an unlit county road near Alvin, investigators said. Several minutes after the crash, 911 operators began receiving phone calls about the accident and recorded a sound of gunfire. During a two-month investigation, authorities located a witness who reported seeing David Barajas walk from the crash scene to his nearby home and return to Banda’s car, after which the witness heard gunshots. Felicia, Banda’s wife, now raising their infant daughter alone, posted several comments just before the murder indictment was announced. The Facebook page earlier had been a battleground, with angry postings by supporters of Banda, who complained of a vigilante killing, and supporters of Barajas, who described the boys’ deaths as murders.
