    Jury Sentences Convicted Cop Killer to Die

    Jury considered either life in prison or the death penalty in convicted murderer's case

    A Collin County jury has sentenced to death Brandon McCall, the man found guilty of capital murder in the shooting death of Richardson police officer David Sherrard.

    The jury reached the decision shortly before 10 p.m. Thursday after more than eight hours of deliberations.

    “This is for David Sherrard,” Judge John Roach said to McCall inside the courtroom.

    The same jury found McCall guilty Feb. 19 in the Feb. 7, 2018 killing of 37-year-old David Sherrard, a 14-year veteran of the department who is survived by his wife and two daughters. McCall is also charged with the murder of Rene Gamez II on the same day, a crime for which he will be tried at a later date.

    McCall was given an option to speak during the sentencing hearing Thursday, but he declined that option.

    Closing arguments began at about noon and wrapped up at about 1:15 p.m. KRLD-AM's LP Phillips, who live tweeted the closing, said each side would have about 45 minutes to present their closing arguments before turning it over to the jury.

    At about 3:30 p.m., Phillips tweeted that deliberations had been going on for about two hours.

    A capital murder conviction in Texas comes with one of two options, either the death penalty or life in prison without parole. The Collin County District Attorney's Office asked for the death penalty.

    Investigators said McCall shot Gamez, who McCall was staying with at the time, inside Gamez's apartment and then shot Sherrard twice as he responded to the "shots fired" call. Sherrard was shot twice in what a prosecutor described in court Tuesday as an ambush.

    “You sent a message that if you kill a cop in Texas you’re going to get a fair trial — and then you’re going to die...this is for [Officer] David Sherrard.” — Judge speaking to jury, courtroom after Brandon McCall sentenced to death.

    Man Convicted in Richardson Officer's Murder Seeks to Overturn Death Sentence

    By NBC 5 News

    The man convicted in the 2018 murder of a Richardson police officer is appealing his death sentence.

    Brandon McCall was found guilty of capital murder in the shooting death of Richardson police officer David Sherrard. The jury sentenced McCall to death after more than eight hours of deliberations.

    KRLD-FM reported Monday that McCall claimed his trial was unfair largely because of problems with the jury selection and prospective jurors were improperly dismissed with the net result of an unfair jury.

    He is also claiming that the definition of mitigating evidence, items in his favor, was unconstitutional and that there were federal violations, the report says.
