Top officials pressured investigators to call Eric Harris shooting a justifiable homicide, according to grand jury testimony
Two top-level Sheriff’s Office officials pressured investigators to report that the shooting of Eric Harris was a justifiable homicide despite resistance from prosecutors, according to grand jury testimony.
Testimony from another witness also details how one of the officials directed him to discourage Harris’ brother from obtaining legal counsel in hopes of gaining an early settlement and avoiding a likely expensive and drawn-out civil lawsuit.
The Tulsa World reviewed 341 pages of sworn testimony from three witnesses who appeared last August before a grand jury investigating operations of the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office.
The transcripts of testimony were ordered by the district court to be prepared at the request of prosecutors arguing the case against Glanz after grand jurors issued two misdemeanor indictments against the former sheriff.
