Rocky Joe Houston told The Knoxville News Sentinel he and brother Leon want the world to remember what happened the last time unwelcome visitors showed up at the family farm.
The photos are posted next to the road. Authorities called the posting despicable but said it was not a crime.
Roane County Deputy Bill Jones and ride-along Mike Brown died May 11, 2006, after they went to serve an outstanding arrest warrant for Rocky Houston.
The brothers insisted in court the men came to kill them. They were not convicted.
The brothers obtained the crime scene photos during their trials.
