Grand jury clears former Hearne officer Stem in Pearlie Golden shooting (93 yr. old woman)

[TexasTowelie]

FRANKLIN -- A Robertson County grand jury on Tuesday declined to indict former Hearne officer Stephen Stem for the shooting death of 93-year-old Pearlie Golden.

It was the second time for Stem, 29, to be cleared of any criminal wrongdoing for killing someone while on duty.

In April 2013, a different Robertson County grand jury no billed the former officer -- who was terminated in May following Golden's death -- after he'd shot and killed 28-year-old Tederalle Lakeith Satchell.

Golden and Satchell, both black, were shot by the white officer after refusing to put their guns down despite repeated commands from Stem, according to officials.
