Two brothers who
shot and killed a sheriff's deputy have placed photos of the slain
lawman outside the entrance of their farm, calling it a "warning" to
other law enforcement officials.
The Associated Press
reports that the photos show the "bullet-riddled bodies" of Roane
County Deputy Bill Jones and ride-along Mike Brown, who were shot and
killed on May 11, 2006, after arriving at the home of Rocky Houston to
deliver an arrest warrant.
"It goes without saying that any
public display on their own property of these photos in whatever manner
by the Houstons is despicable and certainly runs counter to the
Houstons' claims of innocence," District Attorney General Russell
Johnson said in a news release.
However, it also appears that the sign is perfectly within the Houstons' First Amendment rights.
