Does this open him up to civil litigation? Further criminal offenses?

I hope it doesn't end well for him.

Remember beginning of August, the Feds filed charges as well

Snip-"The third charging document — an information filed by the Department of Justice — charges LMPD Detective Kelly Goodlett with conspiring with Jaynes to falsify the search warrant for Taylor’s home and to cover up their actions afterward."


She & her lawyers must have got a deal.

Also, I'm not a lawyer.

Haven't been following this recently, but it's good to see some movement on her murder.
