    Shelton Denoria Jones - Texas






    Summary of Offense:

    Convicted in the shooting death of Sgt. Bruno D. Soboleski, a Houston police department officer. Soboleski was on a patrol with a civilian observer when he stopped two men in the 6600 block of Calho. The officer searched one of the men and was turning to search Jones when he was shot twice by Jones. Soboleski fell to the street and was shot a third time by Jones as he lay on the pavement. The civilian observer, Linda Logon, was not injured and later indentified Jones as the killer. Soboleski died five days after the shooting.

    Jones was sentenced to death in Harris County on January 9, 1992.

    On April 7, 2011, Jones filed an appeal in the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit over the denial of his habeas petition (concerning his conviction) in Federal District Court.

    Shelton Jones v. Rick Thaler, Director
    Filed: April 7, 2011 as 11-70007
    Petitioner - Appellee Cross-appellant: SHELTON DENORIA JONES
    Respondent - Appellant Cross-appellee: RICK THALER, DIRECTOR, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS DIVISION


    Jones is cross appealing the denial of relief as it concerns his conviction. Prosecutors are cross-appealing the relief that was granted in the District Court to get the sentence reinstated.

    cheser,

    Shelton is still alive and kicking in the Polunsky Unit in Livingston, Texas. You do know he executed a police officer, right? Just curious, did you send money to Shelton during the 8 years you guys wrote?

    If Sgt. Bruno D. Soboleski had been polka dotted Jones would STILL be on death row. It's Texas after all!
