A.A. writing from Texas
“How does one bring attention to an illegal act of the miscarriage of justice?
. . . I need support. I need someone who will stand with me to win.”
Location
Colorado County, Texas
Crime of Conviction
Aggravated Assault
Year of Conviction
2007
“I’ll be here until I die. This is their expectation — that I die in prison. It’s in the record that I probably won’t come back out alive.”
A.A. was sentenced to sixty-five (65) years in prison for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
A.A. maintains his innocence. He alleges that the evidence used to convict him was inadequate and failed to prove his guilt. The prosecution withheld evidence in violation of Brady, and failed to DNA test blood samples used as evidence against him. He claims that evidence admitted at trial included false statements and fabricated photographs.
A.A. also alleges ineffective assistance of counsel. He says that his lawyer failed to acquire exculpatory evidence and made statements before the jury alluding to evidence that was not admitted to trial.
Procedural issues
A.A.’s conviction was affirmed on appeal in 2008. He has filed for habeas corpus in federal court.
Counsel
No counsel reported.
