Robertson found guilty in Kinne shooting

Jury finds parent guilty in shooting of coach

Associated Press

CANTON, Texas (AP) - An East Texas jury on Monday found a man guilty of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the shooting of a high school football coach.

The same panel then began considering a penalty Monday afternoon for Jeff Doyal Robertson, who faces a prison sentence of two to 20 years. The jury in this small town about 60 miles east of Dallas rejected a charge of aggravated assault on a public servant in favor of the lesser charge.

Robertson's defense attorney argued then-Canton high school football coach Gary Joe Kinne wasn't a public servant when he was shot. He said a high school football coach doesn't meet the standard of a public servant under the state penal code, which doesn't explicitly mention school district employees.

Robertson, a hearing and air conditioning repairman, shot Kinne in April. Kinne was critically injured but has since recovered and is on the coaching staff of Baylor University.

Robertson's son played on Canton's freshmen football team along with Kinne's son, who was the quarterback.

The coach testified last week that Robertson passed by his office and called out to him. Kinne said he found Robertson leaning casually against a wall in the hallway outside the dressing room.

"His face looked kind of lifeless," Kinne said. "It looked evil."

Kinne said that Robertson smirked but didn't say anything before lifting a gun and shooting him. The blast pushed him back against the back wall of the dressing room.

Wow...I certainly hope that the jury will send a message with this sentencing because we have so many parents who "ruin it" for kids. At any level...girls/boys...you see parents who are so trying to live through their children that it is sickening. There is so much politics and "mommas and daddies who missed their callings"---from little league to high school.

Let the kids be and let them be kids! They should be learning and having some fun without some anal parent making a fool of himself and his child.

      What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

      He's with it enough to do what he's told, beginning day 1 when he signed the order to revoke the Keystone Pipeline project.  But more recently, he's protecting the DOJ, as well as himself ...  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

      Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
