A British woman who was shot dead by her father while visiting his home in Texas had argued with him about US President Donald Trump earlier that day, an inquest has heard.
Lucy Harrison, from Warrington in Cheshire, was shot in the chest on 10 January 2025 in Prosper, near Dallas.
Police in the town investigated the 23-year-old’s death as possible manslaughter but no criminal case was brought against Kris Harrison after a grand jury in Collin County declined to indict him.
An inquest into Lucy Harrison’s death opened earlier at Cheshire Coroner’s Court, where her boyfriend Sam Littler described the “big argument” about Trump, who was preparing to be inaugurated for his second term of office.
You can believe whatever you like, but the title of the article should match the content, and you should read the content before you decide. It sounds like you did both of those things so good on you.
Based on my read of it, there’s definitely enough reasonable doubt that I’m not comfortable saying this guy murdered his daughter based on the content provided. I updated my original comment to say why.
He pointed a loaded, cocked firearm, and pulled the trigger with a minimum of 5 pounds of force
reasonable doubt that it was a premeditated murder I will buy
Reasonable doubt that he committed manslaughter, no chance
And considering his quote saying he wouldn’t be too upset if she was raped because he has two other daughters I think the title is accurate…
