Murder of Santos Rodriguez (en.wikipedia.org)

Two Dallas Police officers broke into a private home without a warrant, snatched two boys, 12 & 13 years old, out of their beds, handcuffed them, drove them to a burglary scene, and then one cop, in a "game of Russian roulette as interrogation technique" supposedly gone horribly wrong, blew the cuffed and seated 12-year-old boy's brains out.

He served two and half years in prison.

Fingerprinting later confirmed the boys had nothing to do with the burglary.

On the morning of July 24, 1973, in Dallas, Texas, 30-year-old Dallas Police Officer Darrell Lee Cain murdered Santos Rodriguez, a 12-year-old Mexican-American child.

Darrell Lee Cain, 30, had worked at the Dallas Police Department for five years when he committed the murder of Santos. He was born in Benkelman, Nebraska, on March 31, 1943. He died on March 17, 2019.

Cain lived 46 more years, to his 75, after killing a handcuffed innocent 12 year old!

Burleson stated that Cain sought to put his past behind him, and intended to move to a small town outside of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Cain later worked as an insurance claim adjuster and became married in 1980.
