After reading The Austin American Statesman's article Prosecution rests murder case against former Bastrop county deputy, I learned that Daniel Willis was accused of Murder in the shooting of Yvette Smith while on duty as a Bastrop county sheriff's deputy. Daniel Willis could face life in Prison. In February,16,2014, while responding to a domestic disturbance, Willis shot Smith twice with a AR-15 assault rifle two seconds after she opened the front door to her house to check on her boyfriend, Willie Thomas. Bastrop County deputies at the scene gave false information in reports that they had issued commands to Smith before former deputy Daniel Willis shot her. Deputy Scott Gaskamp told investigators they had ordered Smith to show them her hands. Camera footage caught from his patrol vehicle showed no commands were ever issued. His written reports were wrong and he had never told Smith to put her hands up. After being confronted with that evidence Gaskamp said “I did not say those words. It must have been a figment of my imagination,” Daniel Willis insisted that Smith had a gun; however, 11-year-old Desnic Houston witnessed the shooting and reported that he saw nothing in Smith’s hands when she opened the door. Yvette's sister told the court that her sister was non-violent person who had never expressed animosity towards the police. This article was a good reminder that the police need to be put in check.Texans should not have to live in fear of their police force murdering their citizens and cheating the justice system to avoid punishment.
