Father Finally Charged In Hate Crime Murder Of Houston Lesbian Couple<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

\"Cosby\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The father of one of the victims has finally been charged in the murder of a Houston lesbian couple committed last year.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Cosby.James\"<\/a>James Cosby was indicted on capital murder charges Tuesday in the deaths of his daughter, Britney Cosby, and her girlfriend<\/a>, Crystal Jackson, who were both 24. James Cosby has been in jail on a charge of tampering with evidence since shortly after the murders. <\/p>\n

The bodies of Cosby and Jackson were found near a Dumpster outside a convenience store in Galveston County in March 2014. Autopsy results showed Cosby died from blunt force trauma to the head, and Jackson — who had a 5-year-old daughter — died from a gunshot wound.  <\/p>\n

From KHOU-TV<\/a>‘s report on James Cosby’s indictment: <\/p>\n

\n

Investigators later found a lot of blood at Cosby’s Houston home.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, they searched Cosby s bedroom and found large areas of blood on surfaces throughout.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint filed in court says detectives also noticed a missing window shutter on Cosby s home. They found a shutter matching the missing one covered in blood near where the victim s bodies were found. Detectives say Cosby’s thumb print was on the shutter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Following James Cosby’s arrest, Britney Cosby’s mother told KHOU<\/a> that he “didn’t like the idea of her being gay<\/a>.” Cosby’s mother also told the The Houston Chronicle<\/em><\/a>: “He would throw it in her face,” adding that her daughter quoted James Cosby as saying, “Don’t throw that gay<\/a> (expletive) around in this house.”<\/p>\n

In addition, Houston civil rights activist Quanell X, who was advising the family in the wake of the murder, told Fox 26<\/a> he “found writings about homosexuality on Cosby’s Koran indicating he may have had an issue with his daughter’s sexual orientation.”<\/p>\n

James Cosby had been released from prison in October 2013, where he served time for failing to register as a sex<\/a> offender after being convicted two decades before of sexually assaulting a 22-year-old woman<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
