A week after a jury found Patrick Waite acted in self-defense in the fatal shooting of three members of his wife’s family, his attorney criticized Gibson County law enforcement for not investigating related crimes.
Attorney Scott Danks says Waite’s home deed, which he says was fraudulently transferred to the Tapia family before the shootings, remains in court.
He also says vehicles, credit card use and other alleged crimes involving the Tapia family have not been investigated.
Danks says Waite is now out of state for safety reasons.
Gibson County Sheriff Bruce Vanoven says he has no comment on Mr. Danks statement and that any further questions should be directed to the Gibson County Attorney.
