A Bossier City man who was sentenced to 39 years in prison for killing his friend and coworker has won his appeal and had his conviction reversed.
Patrick Harris, who had been convicted in the 2016 shooting death of Chris Flowers, has been freed following the ruling by the Louisiana state court of appeals.
Harris was represented in his appeal by attorney Jose Baez and The Baez Law Firm in Florida.
"He had several appealable issues,' Baez said. "But the biggest one was this was a very, very clear case of self-defense. All of the evidence pointed in the direction of self-defense.' |

Exactly the kind of thing SYG is intended to prevent.
Harris shouldn't have been charged in the first place. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
