Brothers and Sisters, 

It is with great pleasure we announce that Officer Greg Hudson was finally vindicated, after a three-year long ordeal of being accused of shooting an HPD officer. It was a very trying and stressful time for Officer Hudson, and we’re glad that he did not succumb to the bullying, nor pressured into making a bad decision. The union and union attorney, Andy Taylor, stepped up and represented Greg during the whole ordeal. Greg was interviewed many times and even polygraphed, and even was called deceitful a couple of times. It saddens me that Homicide Investigator Robles could not fathom the idea of there being a different suspect, which shows that he needs to look at this investigator techniques. By even putting Officer Hudson on TV through media pressure caused a lot of stress, and I am glad that Greg can finally move on with his life, without this dark shadow lingering over him.  Read more here.

Fraternally,
Robert Lozano
