 BRANNAN, ANDREW HOWARD GDC ID: 0001041320 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION YOB: 1948 RACE: WHITE GENDER: MALE HEIGHT: 5'11'' WEIGHT: 180 EYE COLOR: GREEN HAIR COLOR: SLT&PEP SCARS, MARKS, TATTOOS INCARCERATION DETAILS MAJOR OFFENSE: MURDER MOST RECENT INSTITUTION: GA DIAG & CLASS PRIS MAX POSSIBLE RELEASE DATE: DEATH Important Release Information TENTATIVE PAROLE MONTH: NOT ALLOWED IN THIS CASE Important Parole Information ACTUAL RELEASE DATE: CURRENTLY SERVING CURRENT STATUS: ACTIVE KNOWN ALIASES A.K.A. BRANNAN,ANDREW H A.K.A. BRANNAN,ANDREW HOWARD STATE OF GEORGIA - CURRENT SENTENCES CASE NO: 437391 OFFENSE: MURDER CONVICTION COUNTY: LAURENS COUNTY CRIME COMMIT DATE: 01/12/1998 SENTENCE LENGTH: NOT AVAILABLE STATE OF GEORGIA - PRIOR SENTENCES STATE OF GEORGIA - INCARCERATION HISTORY INCARCERATION BEGIN INCARCERATION END 02/04/2000 ACTIVE Brannan was found hiding in the woods about 100 yards from his house, and he made incriminating statements after his arrest. He had a gunshot wound to his abdomen. The police found the murder weapon in his house. Brannan claimed that he was not guilty by reason of insanity, and presented experts who testified that he had been unable to distinguish right from wrong because post-traumatic stress disorder had triggered a flashback to Vietnam. However, the court-appointed psychiatrist concluded that Brannan was sane, and the jury could have inferred from comments made by Brannan during the crime and after his arrest that he shot the victim because he believed the 22-year-old deputy was not showing him a sufficient amount of respect. Regarding his dancing during the altercation, Brannan explained to the police that he once defused a tense situation with an angry man by dancing and saying "shoot me." He also later told a psychiatrist that he had seen Mel Gibson act that way in the movie "Lethal Weapon." By its verdict the jury rejected Brannan's [*7] insanity defense. The evidence was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find proof of Brannan's guilt of malice murder beyond a reasonable doubt. |

Re: Deputy Dinkheller Gunned Down by M1 Carbine rifle
Deputy Kyle Dinkheller, Laurens County, GA, was minutes from being off duty when he encountered a speeding pickup truck going 98 mph. The deputy was an ICE (Interstate Criminal Enforcement) officer that dealt with traffic infractions, speeding and the occasional drug bust. This was a low risk or unknown risk stop for speeding. He radioed in the speeding infraction, made a U-turn in the median and pursued the vehicle. The driver, Andrew Brannan, stopped his vehicle, exited and started a crazy, dancing jig in the middle of the road while swearing at the officer and shouting Im a god-damned Vietnam vet. At first, he ignored Dinkhellers commands to step towards the deputy, which always began with `Sir. When he finally complied, he attacked the deputy and a scuffle ensued. The deputy implemented the use of his asp and ordered Brannan to `get back. This procedure was repeated, but after what appeared to be a second scuffle, the suspect returned to his vehicle and retrieved a M-I Carbine from under the seat. The first shots were fired nearly 50 seconds after Brannan returned to his vehicle despite the deputys commands. Brannan ignored the repeated commands to put the gun down and Deputy Dinkheller apparently fired the first shot. Brannan, a Vietnam veteran, advanced firing on the deputy. Dinkheller returned fire, but succeeded only in breaking a window in the drivers side of the pickup and wounding Brannan in the stomach. Using `suppressive fire, Brannan systematically, methodically shot Dinkheller in the arms, legs, exposed areas that would not be covered had Dinkheller been wearing a bulletproof vest, slowly executing him. Reloading his weapon Brannan continued firing with the final death shot to Dinkhellers right eye. "The entire incident was videotaped by a camera in Deputy Dinkheller's patrol car. On January 28, 2000, the suspect was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to death two days later." http://www.odmp.org/officer/15034-dep... |

Re: Deputy Dinkheller Gunned Down by M1 Carbine rifle
The real question is,why didn't he take out his tazer when the guy went to his car. As a matter of fact, he should have tazed him when he charged the cop.
