Harleys were roaring outside of the Texas State Penitentiary on Jan. 30, the day of Robert Jennings’s execution. Houston officers and the Thin Blue Line Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club were present, ensuring that the 61-year-old murderer heard the sound of justice in his final moments.
It’s been three decades since Jennings shot officer Elston Howard twice in the head during a robbery—three decades of delayed justice that Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo felt was also an injustice.
