DALLAS Dallas Chief of Police Eddie Garcia says he was disappointed to learn the charges were dropped Thursday against a former police officer arrested and accused of capital murder when prosecutors said there wasn’t enough evidence to support probable cause in the case.
Garcia reiterated a statement from the agency released on Wednesday saying the department respected the judge’s decision, but they had a probable cause affidavit approved by a judge before taking former officer Bryan Riser into custody, NBC 5 reported.
Riser had been accused of ordering three men, Kevin Kidd, Emmanuel Kilpatrick and Jermon Simmons, to kill Albert Douglas and Lisa Saenz in 2017, Law Officer reported.
