BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Jesse Leatherwood was found guilty in the tragic death of Deputy Ruben Garcia, according to Cameron County Constable Precinct 1.

Sentencing by jury is scheduled for today.

"This verdict is a step toward the justice Ruben and his family deserve," read a statement from the constable's office. 

"We will continue to stand by Deputy Garcia’s family, honoring his memory and the ultimate sacrifice he made in service to our community. "

Leatherwood, according to testimony at trial, had Xanax and cocaine in his system — at rates seven and 14 times reporting limits — when he crashed into Deputy Garcia's vehicle.

Self-destruction didn't just ruin his own life—it shattered the life of Constable Garcia and devastated his family.
There is no form of justice that can ever replace the loss and pain this family now carries, all because of one horrific choice made by this imbecile.

He will live with the weight of that decision—the pain he caused—every day for the rest of his life.

Americans are into drugs. The person you least think is a user, is a user. The doctor, the nurse, the police officer, the mailman, your neighbor, your friend, the priest, etc Drugs make people happy.

I am so tired of these MAGA Republicans that constantly attack and insult the reporters who are interviewing them. this has gotten so old. I would have such a hard time being one of those reporters and not responding to that nonsense that is constantly thrown at them, unless they are a member of the far right media ecosystem.

Why didn't you complain about Biden who was mentally unfit to serve as president ? At least Trump is trying to improve our country. Biden was in the basement and his wife was running the country. Now that's something to complain about but you all remained silent.

Why didn't you remove Biden who was mentally unfit? Trump will come out on top with the tariffs. Patience!
