According to the review from the special prosecuting attorney, Richard Bradley Jones was fatally injured during a confrontation a Lavaca man. The review states the man reasonably perceived an imminent threat of serious physical injury or death, adding that this is supported by three witnesses interviewed by investigators.<\/p>\n

Special Prosecuting Attorney David L. Ethredge wrote in his review, “Based on the totality of the evidence including witness testimony, physical evidence, and investigative findings. The State cannot disprove that Mr. Acosta\u2019s actions were legally justified.”<\/p>\n
