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.

possible manslaughter

beyond doomed country

Couldn't even get a grand jury indictment. No doubt the local yokels closed ranks. Made up some nonsense about it being an accident.

morbidly curious about whether the piece of shit feels any guilt at all about killing his daughter over a conman… what the fuck am i saying of course he doesn’t he probably posted about it on facebook and the 50 different bots with a bald men with sunglasses pfp all 😂😂😂 reacted and he felt like he saved his country or whatever

edit: I read the article this was blatantly a murder by an alcoholic magat what the FUCK. like who is actually buying this?? he had a big argument with his daughter and then just “wanted to show her his new handgun”??? death to amerikkka

Reminder that the people who lynched Ahmaud Arbery almost got away with it until they were stupid enough to release the footage of the murder, thinking it would exonerate them and people would call them heroes. Over two months with no arrests.

You’re right why am I even acting surprised. neonazi country

Did you miss the part of the article with his answer to "what if I was one of the women trump raped"?

[–] astraeus@lemmy.ml 14 points 14 hours ago

No I was trying to cool off and not fedpost this is genuinely beyond words

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

More likely the prosecutor just didn't show any evidence. The prosecutor has so much influence over whether there is or isn't an indictment.

It's perfectly on brand for the USA, really. This uppity woman didn't listen to the man of the house, so he had to wave his gun around to remind her of her place. He was so distraught at his authority being questioned that his gun accidentally went off while it was pointed at his daughter. The guy feels bad, so it's OK. Plus, as he said himself,

Kris Harrison had replied that he had two other daughters who lived with him so it [his daughter being sexually assaulted] would not upset him that much.
