They finally released Harris County autopsy report of the December 27, 2003, shooting death of Jonathan Ray Comick by a Harris County deputy demonstrates that Harris County's new policy of not releasing homicide autopsy reports is to prevent public outcry in improper officer-involved shooting deaths.

In the shooting death of 14-year old Eli Escobar by HPD Officer Carbonneau the publicly released autopsy report was openly discussed in the media and, with other evidence, led to public outcry and the rare Grand Jury true-bill of an officer for an on-duty shooting. After the indictment Harris County reacted by making autopsy reports non-public while the crime is under "investigation" despite the fact the killer (the officer) is already known to the investigators, there is slight chance of the officer trying to escape and there are no members of public that are protected by not releasing the autopsy report. Now autopsy reports are not publicly released until some time after the Grand Jury No Bills an officer. Further, Harris County's grant of officer No Bills are coming much slower now than ever.

The autopsy report of December 27, 2003, shooting death of Jonathan Ray Comick by Harris County Sheriff's deputy James Drury was released just last week--about one month after the No Bill by the Grand Jury and 13 months after the shooting. The autopsy report is incredible and evidences yet another cover-up by law enforcement and the district attorney's office of an improper officer shooting.

The Harris County ME's investigative narrative states that the decendent ran from the scene of a robbery and that "Per Det. Beall, the Deputy asked him to stop, the decedent allegedly turned around and pointed his shotgun at the Deputy. Per Det. Beall, the Deputy then fired approximately 5 times, and the decedent then turned and collapsed."

The just released autopsy report shows the deceased was shot in the back of the leg and a fatal shot to the back of the head! Either a false police report or statement was filed or the shooting was improper...either are indictable offenses.
