KINGSTON, TENN. — Roane County brothers who killed a sheriff’s deputy and his friend in a shootout have posted photos of the men’s bullet-riddled bodies on a large homemade sign on their property.
Rocky Joe Houston told The Knoxville News Sentinel that he and his brother Leon want the world to remember what happened the last time unwelcome visitors showed up at the family farm.
The photos are posted next to the road. Authorities called the posting despicable but said it was not a crime.
“It goes without saying that any public display on their own property of these photos in whatever manner by the Houstons is despicable and certainly runs counter to the Houstons’ claims of innocence,” District Attorney General Russell Johnson said in a news release.
Roane County Deputy Bill Jones and ride-along Mike Brown died May 11, 2006, after they went to serve an outstanding arrest warrant for Rocky Houston.
The brothers insisted in court the men came to kill them. Prosecutors were unable to prove who shot first and the brothers were never convicted.
