I came across this post on BigJolly Politics this week, and it’s been on my mind quite a bit. As always, I encourage you to write your own letter, copy this one, or just
send one of those flyers to your right. Let’s let the DA’s office know that our
interest in this case continues, and we want to see action on it.

Sir,
I’m writing to you today about the case of Carlos Coy, #908426.
I saw an article written by David Jennings of the blog Big Jolly Politics. In it, he protests
SB 834 and brings up what appear to be multiple connections between political
figures in Harris County and the members of grand juries.
I do not believe a government can exist without accusations of
corruption. It doesn’t take much for the perception take hold, and then the
public is left wondering who can be trusted; caught between opposing
accusations and murky ethical quandaries, there is little that can be done immediately.
However, when corruption has been ignored for many years, and we can
finally see the devastation it left, it is imperative that we address
it. There were serious problems with the criminal justice system under D.A.
Chuck Rosenthal, and I hope that you will agree that, no matter how long ago an
injustice took place, it is never a bad idea to do what we can to fix it.
I cannot make any specific allegations of wrongdoing in Coy’s case; I
do not have the training and expertise needed to pinpoint exactly what went
wrong, but I feel very strongly that during that time period little attention
was paid to the rights of those accused. Likewise, I feel that what information
we do have about Coy’s case indicates that something went wrong; it defies
common sense to think that a man could be sentenced to 45 years in prison on the
malleable testimony of a child that couldn't testify definitively whether she had been assaulted, or merely had a bad dream.
According to the Innocence project, the wrongfully incarcerated serve
an average of 13 years before winning their freedom; next year will be the 13th
anniversary of Rosenthal’s election, and I hope very much that those abused
that notorious administration will begin to see justice.
Please, sir, look into Carlos Coy’s case. Give us justice sooner,
rather than later.
Me, my address, etc etc etc.
