Geoffrey Jackson's Criminal History
Police Report, False Statements Under Oath, Internal Affairs Complaint
The Police Report
Edward's home address written 5 times, though the detective stated he had no idea where Edward lived and therefore couldn't interview him. Then he sent the case to the DA.
Trial Transcript Of Detective on the Stand:
Detective said it's necessary to interview the accused before determining probable cause, but he had no idea where Edward lived. He got his phone number from Becca although the correct number was on the first page of the police report. Never verified the number Becca gave him for Edward.

The Accuser's Credibility Issues
Transcript re: Becca and Geoff. They were roommates for 5+ years. She testified that their lease was in her name only because Geoff had a criminal incident "way back before I met him". This is deceptive. She began living with him in 2014, and Geoff was arrested in July and again in October of 2017, while they were living together. It was for this conviction that he was on probation while living with her.
Edward's 2022 personal statement swears that Becca sold drugs for Geoff so he would not get caught and have his probation revoked. Geoff's history of weapons and drug possession support this. More importantly, Edward also personally witnessed her cover for Geoff in a 2019 shooting incident in a parking lot of an Amarillo apartment complex. While Edward did not ask nor was involved in any details, he witnessed Becca and Geoff plan their cover story-- that Geoff did not have a gun nor was he involved. Edward was in the room when the detective called Becca as she told them Geoff had no involvement and did not have any gun. That was deception to police officers to protect Geoff from probation revocation. As a result, charges were never filed against Geoff. Five months later, she accused Edward of assault two weeks after he broke up with her. This incident has now been confirmed as the May 7, 2019 homicide of a 28 year-old man. The name is being withheld out of respect for the family who does not know these details.
Transcript of Becca saying she was punched in the face with a left hand (Geoff is left-handed) one after the other, multiple times, and had two black eyes. As the very first photo taken and forensic expert support, there are no black eyes nor injuries to the face. If she describes this in detail but the photo and expert do not support it, what does this say about Becca?
Becca saying the officer didn't want to take pics and she had to point out the bump on her forehead. The officer testified he only saw a lump on her forehead and marks under her arms, neck (no black eyes mentioned). Her friend said she saw a lump on her forehead and a mark on her neck (no black eyes). Her coworked said the same (never mentioned two black eyes). We believe this is indicative that police officer saw no facial injury to photograph. While the other photos do show marks under her arms and a lump on her forehead, and we are not saying nothing happened to Becca (we simply don't know)...we use the first photo and her conflicting testimony to question only her credibility.
Deceptive filing of Protective Order request -- When the charges were initially filed, it automatically created a protective order for 6 months. When it expired in September 2020, Edward received a phone call from his attorney saying Becca called the victim advocate at the DA office, claiming Edward was frequently driving by her house in his truck, and she need the protective order issued again. This was impossible as he had already been in NJ for over a month and had a full-time job with paystubs to prove it. It was dismissed once they could not corroborate her story compared to his time sheets at work in NJ. She did not know Edward had moved out of state and assumed she would be believed, speaking again to her credibility
September 2025 Police Report involving Becca continues to show a troubling pattern of not being honest with law enforcement.
Prosecutor Conduct
This Discovery Record Shows:
1. The Detective checked the criminal record on March 18, 2020, did not contact Edward, and sent the case to the DA for charges to be filed.
2. The prosecutor disclosed four-year-old evidence central to their case until the last minute despite 3 Requests for Evidence (39.14) between 2020 and 2023.
3. The prosecutor knew about the 2003 judicial exemption in 2022. Even though he knew the truth--that the charge was judicially deemed non-violent, age-based, and consensual--he still misused it by threatening to use it against Edward if he testified and then presenting the past charge to the jury at sentencing without the exemption.
4. The DA was sent three requests for Discovery: 2020, 2022, and 2023, and never disclosed the 2020 Facebook messages or multiple police reports involving Becca (required to be disclosed under Michael Morton Act 39.14.)
Trial transcript for sentencing where the prosecutor tells judge he wants to present the pen pack for admission in the jury's presence, and Edward's attorney says "No objection." This is where Edward's attorney should have objected to make sure the judicial exemption was included or even mention it himself to the jury, but he did neither.
The Pen Pack is blurry and hard to read; the copy they sent with the trial record came that way. But it was clear and readable to the jury: Sexual Assault of a Child was front and center.
Defense Attorney Actions
Edward's personal affidavit sent to his attorney in 2022, which was sent to the prosecutor in 2022: both were aware that his testimony would point to her roommate of 5 years, Geoff, and expose a much more likely suspect. However, Edward had no idea that Becca would testify she was punched with a left hand. As you can see from his affidavit written in 2022, he went watch-shopping one time with Geoff. He had no idea when he wrote this in 2022 that the watch shopping trip would be so critical. However, his trial counsel never pointed this out to the jury.
His counsel also never sought police records or investigated the incident Edward told him about in this statement, which we now know is the homicide from May 7, 2019 at the Rock Island Apartment Complex in Amarillo -- the one Becca gave false information to the police to protect Geoff.
​The pre-trial motion transcript showing his attorney took no opportunity to object to its admissibility.
With the court-ordered exemption and mitigation to a non-violent, age-based offense, plus being from 20 years ago, this prior charge should have never been admitted as evidence. It was inadmissible by all accounts in the Code of Criminal Procedure. Edward's attorney made it seem like it he could do nothing to stop it. He told him as long as he did not take the stand and testify, it would never be brought up. WRONG. It was brought up at sentencing as the prosecutor argued for the maximum time in prison (ten years). If Edward had known that, he would have testified so the jury could hear the truth about that charge, along with the truth about Geoff and Becca.
