Brandon O’Quinn Rasberry, 32, was shot in the head in 2022 while he slept at an RV park in Nixon, Texas, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) east of San Antonio, investigators said. He had just moved in a few days before.

The boy’s possible connection to the case was uncovered after sheriff’s deputies were contacted on April 12 of this year about a student who threatened to assault and kill another student on a school bus. They learned the boy had made previous statements that he had killed someone two years ago.

The boy was taken to a child advocacy center, where he described for interviewers details of Rasberry’s death “consistent with first-hand knowledge” of the crime, investigators said.

    Because it’s explicitly included in the definition as a step a reasonable person would take. It’s not the only step they may take (maybe they hide it instead), but the law is written to be that permissive.

    They did not have to add that definition when they passed the bill. They did it to make the law more permissive as to what “secured” meant.

      No reasonable person considers a box locked or secure when the keys are right next to it.

      You would not consider your money safe in a lockbox under the same condition.

      Arguing otherwise is quite obviously bad faith.
