Opening statements and wit nesses were presented on the firs: day of the capital murder trial 19-year-old Ronald Ray Howard Howard is accused of killiaj Department of Public Safet Trooper Bill Davidson in April 1992, after Davidson pulled ove Howard's vehicle for missing- headlight. Defense attorney Allen Tame: said that on the night of the inci dent, Howard drove 120 miles from Houston to Victoria listen ing to "gangsta rap," an outla* genre of rap that focuses or drugs, sex, violence and a hatrec for police. Tanner said the music have prompted Howard to shoot the officer. He said he plans to offer evi dence during the punishment phase of the trial to prove the anti-cop music affected Howard decisions that night. "We hope to show thatfoi many years Ronald listened to this gangsta rap music, and all talked about was selling drugs, killing cops, hating white people — real violent music," Tannei said. "We think that over a period of time this music had a tremen dous effect on him." According to grand jury testi mony, Howard, who later con fessed to the shooting, said, "That DPS trooper pulled me over for nothin'. I shot him."
