    The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas appealed on Thursday a federal judge’s decision to award nearly $2 million in damages to the family of Ulises Valladares, a Honduran man fatally shot by an FBI agent during a failed hostage rescue operation in 2018. The appeal challenges U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt’s ruling that Special Agent Gavin Lappe acted negligently when he fired his rifle through a window of a Houston home, striking and killing Valladares.

    A federal jury on Friday found Brian Busby, former chief operating officer of the Houston Independent School District, and contractor Anthony Hutchison guilty of defrauding the district through a sweeping bribery and overbilling scheme involving Busby and other HISD employees. The 12-member jury convicted both men on all charges brought against them.

    The 14 jurors straightened in their seats as they heard the name of the next witness. It was Day 14 of the bribery and fraud trial against former Houston Independent School District Chief Operating Officer Brian Busby and ex-district vendor Anthony Hutchison. And defense attorney Dick DeGuerin was calling his first witness: Busby himself. Putting a defendant on the stand is always a gamble. It opens the door to cross-examination and carries considerable risk in a high-profile case.

Much like Houston, the Landing was vibrant, imperfect, and full of heart. Thank you to everyone who trusted us with your stories. We’re proud of what we built together. Thank you, Houston, for being our home, our inspiration, and our purpose.
