Defense attorney Nicole DeBorde Hochglaube puts her hands up as she tells the jury that Rhogena Nicholas was shot and killed by Houston police officers because she didn't listen to their command and didn't raise her hands when the officers entered her house during the opening statement at Monday, Sept. 9, 2024, at Harris County Criminal Courthouse in Houston. Retired HPD officer Gerald Goines was on trial for two felony murder charges in the January 2019 deaths of Dennis Tuttle and Nicholas during the Harding Street Raid.
