Quick Update 10

Quick Update: Release The Beast!                                                                    6/17/13

Fambino,

            I hope all is well. I’ve got a little ear infection, but the drops they gave me seem to be working. Other than that, just busy being busy.

           

            I’m writing you today because I’m not sure if I told you that I was denied, again, on getting out of High Security. For those that don’t know, I was sent here almost three years ago because they found some recording equipment in my cell.  That wa at the Powledge Unit in Palestine, Tx. Now, I live at the Allred Unit in Iowa Park, Tx.

            When I first got here, I kept getting in trouble, so it was understandable that they wouldn’t let me out. Ya see, in High Security there is no TV, no payphones, no contact visit, and even when you go to the dentist, you have to be handcuffed. It’s tough time and times are tough, but it’s not that big of a deal. But I’ve been staying out of trouble lately, and so I thought I had a good chance of going to regular prison, which they call “general population.” But I was denied, and I’ll have to wait till October to see the committee again. That means another 4 ½ months in the house of doom.

            I’ve been so busy working on a video treatment for “Angels” that I’m not even sure if they’ve got the next song ready for you. It was supposed to be “People”. I hope they got it for you, but if not, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. I promised you a song every 45 days till the album drops, and that’s what you’ll get.

            This is a very short Quick Update, but I’ll scribble you a Quick Sixteen, just so you won’t cuss me out, or nothing.

Con Chingos de Amor,

Losy Los AKA Phil Coffins

Quick Sixteen

You know what? Let me do something else, here. I remember reading, on one of Incandesio’s letters, a verse that a guy named Jae Stylez wrote. Hopefully Incandesio still has that verse in her archives. I’m going to answer his challenge with a Cold Forty of my own. For some ungodly reason he felt he was ready to step to the dopest man on earth. Poor child. But, which is usually the case, he is a fan, so let me send him all my love before I get to ripping him into strips of bacon.

Love ya, Jae.

Jae's Cold 40: 

"Just For You"

Few have tried to battle rap and take out SPM,

But they were whack and don’t deserve to even touch a pen,

Boyz that think they’re men, softer than some gelatin,

But this is me, I’m guaranteed to beat the rest of them,

That includes you too, Mr. South Park Mexican,

Mr. “Fuck, they locked me up for underage sex again!”

Don’t start trippin’ I’m not sayin’ you’re not innocent,

I’m just sayin’ shit to try and get under ya’ skin ;)

And I won’t say my name yet, I’ll save it for the end,

I’m on the tenth, soon enough I’ll have forty in,

Slicker than lizard tongue, S.O.N. I’m fuckin’ killin’ em these

Rhymes are worth a fortune and I still get paid the minimum!

But it’s ok, I know tomorrow that the sun will shine,

Can’t say the same for you, but hey, you’re still doing fine!

You’re still selling crack within your raps on every album!

Who cares If “The Last” one lost a couple hundred thousand!

I’m just bustin’ balls ‘Los to me you’re still the greatest,

Even if you’ve been on what, a 5 year hiatus?

Being gone that long has made some of your best players

Trade their team and now it seems they’re playin’ for the Houston Haters!

It’s a shame, blame it on the fucking Doe family!

Makes me want to grab a gat and turn ‘em to The No Family!

But then I think of you, both my diamonds and my jewels,

“Nah, I got to keep my cool, nigga What Would Jesus Do?!”

He’d probably say, “Keep your hands out my collection plate, I

Blessed your ass with two free B.O.B’s from Whataburger yesterday!”

Anyway, let me get back to dissin’ What’s his name?

Iowa Park Mexican? Don’t deserve his Dope House Chain?

I know you’re sitting in your cell trying not to laugh,

I’m sittin’ here hopin’ one day I’ll get an autograph,

Be sure to write it on them soft toilet pape’s ya’ have

That way it don’t hurt as much, once I have to wipe my ass

Soon enough, Mr. Coy you’ll know my name, and

So will every other motherfucker in the game, I’mma

Take over the world, call me Pinky and the Brain, then I’ll

Go out wit’cha girl and beat her pinky out the frame,

Yes I’m the one that came up out that rinky dinky place

Phoenix, Arizona I’m a stoner with a chinky face

Sip a cold Corona ask a hoe-a how my winky taste

Jae Stylez, dope enough to write raps with a winky face

            Now, let me finish what you started:

Another Cold 40

“The Cruelest Lie”

Let the ink of this pen be the voice of disaster

let you brag "Hey, guys, I got destroyed by the master!"

here's your cup of elation, plus a slug's penetration

Losy bust then I break then call it justification

look, either you retarded or you ain't that smart

cause you sound more ragged than a gay man's fart

let the payback start, I fuckin slay wack bars

in the game just my mothafuckin name crack hearts

make ya dame's ass arch, give her train track marks

she, like, "Babe, I just did the fool with eight rap stars!"

Losy fly as a sea gull, first ride was a Regal

nigga super like unleaded but my mind is on diesel

I survive through the evil, but will die for my people

my green wife is illegal like soft white for ya needle

comp cry at the steeple, thinkin, "How can we beat'im?

Who the fuck is his father? We want his powerful semen!"

see I'm wreckin you replicas, turnin Jesse's to Jessica's

forty-seven expressionless showin men to the exodus

every word is superior, straight from my interior

I reach for my pen and ain't a man who can mirror her

I snap when the beat emerge, you glad when you see the surge

my talent release the urge, then magic just reoccurs

I laugh at the heated slurs, cause ain't no stoppin this

I'm plannin to meet the Spurs, my name's Coach Poppabitch

I been through the flames, now I'm purified gold

let me take you through the jungle on a tourist guide's road

and I promise you can take a decent pic from a distance

but gettin too close keeps a killa in business

took a pinch from my nicholas, now I'm twistin some triplets

Jae Stylez you my G, but you fit the statistics

not with snitches or bitches, but with niggas that's twisted

cause you sat in the fire as if ya biscuits were brisket

gettin flipped on a discus, that I snatched from ya spinal

have you lookin like Richie, not Valenz but Lionel

lips unspeakably swolen and nose as beefy as Hova's

now ya gotta hear ya homies keep repeating, "We told ya!"

and I've heard parents say, "Hey, anything's possible,

just put your mind to it." Well, unless it's illogical

so next time ya momma tryda drop that line

say, "I tryda battle Los and that's a gotdamn lie!" lol!


Message to the parents: Please stop
telling your kids if they work hard enough, 
they can be anything they want. They can be 
anything but the dopest. That would save a 
lot of bloodshed. Thank you.

Weekend Reading 72 (A Farewell to Eric)

It is with great sadness that I announce the end of Eric’s run as Blog Whipping Boy.

Eric has decided that his inability to mount an effective counterargument makes it necessary to lurk around on myFacebook page and...well, I’m not sure what he’s trying to use the information for. He’s concocted yet another imaginary scenario in which I could call Sylvia Coy and get the transcripts but, for some as-yet undisclosed nefarious reason, refuse to.

Eric, if you really need me to explain to you why I will not call a complete stranger and demand expensive legal documents from her, then you’ll never understand it.

Now, this business of you looking me up on a public social network; honestly, I don't give a shit. You can “lol post stuff” from sun-up to sun-down, and it will only serve to increase my amusement at your general rage-iness. Still, a lot of the people I’ve friended have pictures of their kids, their homes, and their businesses there, and the thought of an aggressively foolish stranger wanking off to any of the above is, as I mentioned before, extremely creepy.

I have come to the conclusion that, since you’ve moved your arguments from the case to the transcripts, from the transcripts to my motivations, and now from my motivations to my character, any interest you may add to the discussion is outweighed by the possibility that you're going to go ape-shit and hurt someone (namely me.)  I have rebuffed your repeated attempts to meet with me in person, and still have no desire to do so. If I continue responding to you online it’s possible that your frustration will become too great for you to deal with, so we’re done; while I pride myself on my ability to respond to all comers, I don't want to be responsible for a potential case of blog-rage. I’m not going to turn on comment moderation, but I will delete yours when I find them. 

To the people that will come here in the future after being told by Eric that I banned him because I couldn't answer his arguments, I invite you to take a look at any of our exchanges and judge for yourself.

Letter to Mike Anderson 9

Another letter to the DA’s office! As you can see, I’m changing up the header a bit, trying to incorporate his title; it probably won’t make a difference, but I think it’s more correct. As always, please feel free to copy this one, write your own, or just print out one of the flyers to you right and send that.

A couple of people have posted pictures of their letters on Facebook, and I really can’t tell you how much I appreciate everyone taking the time to participate in this effort.

1201 Franklin Street,

Suite 600,

Houston, Texas 77002-1923

The Honorable Mike Anderson

District Attorney

Harris County

Sir,

I’m writing today about the case of Carlos Coy, #908426.

I read an interesting story in the Waco Tribune, about how the Michael Morton exoneration has affected jury selection in cases from misdemeanors all the way up to capital murder; in a recent Williamson County trial, 10 of the 55 chosen as potential jurors have been disqualified or excused so far because of serious misgivings about the justice system related to the Morton case.

While it would be easy to dismiss this as local notoriety or simply a cynical way to avoid jury duty, I urge you to consider the implications of the recent wave of exonerations on the public’s perception of the justice system.

Jonathon Salvador’s influence has resulted in many drug cases being overturned already, with many more to come; although his situation has not been covered much by the news media, it is a topic of much conversation on blogs and forums associated with the justice system.

Sir, the citizens of Texas know that there are problems with the justice system; many of us suspect that there were problems with how Mr. Coy’s case was prosecuted. An investigation by your office would be very much appreciated, and not just by those of us who already believe that he was wrongfully convicted. The public should have faith that the government, while not perfect, is truly interested in ensuring justice for each and every one of us, even after the fact.

A proactive review of the trial and the police investigation leading up to it would inspire confidence in your office, and generate a lot of goodwill. Please, consider looking into this case; give us justice.

People

If you've been following along on Twitter and Facebook, you know that DHR Project Manager Trey Coy is saying they'll release the new track, People, tonight at midnight. Just on the off-chance I fall asleep before it's posted (What? I'm old, I need my rest!) here's the Dope House's Soundcloud link. I assume that's where you'll be able to find the new track; if not, I'll update this tomorrow.

Weekend Reading 71

Update: According to Dope House, the track 'People' will be released June 17th; follow Trey Coy on Twitter for updates: https://twitter.com/IIITreycoy

You may remember this post, where I mentioned the HPD shooting a one-armed, one-legged, wheelchair-bound man; The officer, who was defending himself from the ball-point pen being wielded by Brian Claunch, was recently no-billed by a Grand Jury.

""400 shootings of civilians in a row, all no billed" Said Attorney Randall Kallinen.

"How do you have so many shootings of civilians and that many no bills? You would think that the Grand Jury was making judgements on Jesus Christ. No police officers made any mistakes in these shootings?" asked Shelby Stewart."

Also, Young Jay over at The Prison Pensman has an interview with Big Gibz, check it out here.

Mandatory Ethics

You may recall a while back we talked about Mike Anderson’s training for his prosecutors; he ripped into the Innocence Project and seemed to suggest that it was the DA’s office against the world.

Well, Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed wants to see prosecutors all over Texas required to make Brady education part of their mandatory training each year. The bill passed the House & Senate, and is currently awaiting Governor Perry’s signature. If you’re not familiar with Brady, that’s the requirement that prosecutors turn over any exculpatory evidence (that which tends to prove the defendant’s innocence.)

This was one of a number of bills and reforms inspired by the Michael Morton case; Morton was convicted and served 30 years for the brutal murder of his wife before it was revealed that his prosecutor had hidden evidence that could have exonerated him.

I think any effort to improve the administration of justice is a good thing, but it does leave me wondering how this could affect Coy’s case. There may be hidden information, but we have no way to know; remember, the police don’t appear to have made any effort to gather physical evidence in his case.

The first interview, that crucial ‘outcry’, was recorded with no audio. The mother’s first written statement, which could have shown consistency or inconsistency in the girl’s accusation, was discarded. The first police report, the first complaint, is hidden from the public by the Family Code.

Meanwhile, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals is overturning Jonathon Salvador’s cases by the hundreds; Salvador is the Houston Crime Lab tech that was faking test results.

We know that one of Coy’s prosecutors got in trouble for a Brady violation some years after his case. Doesn’t that warrant at least a close second look at all her cases? If TDCJ wants to make sure their prosecutors know it’s wrong to lie and cheat to get a conviction, what better place to start than past cases?

Letter to Mike Anderson 8

First post of the month, time for another letter to the D.A.; please write your own, copy this one, or just send in one of the flyers to your right. Wrongful convictions and ramifications thereof are on a lot of lawmaker's minds at the moment, let's make sure our voices are heard!

Sir,

I’m writing to you today about the case of Carlos Coy, #908426.

As you probably already know, the Texas legislature recently passed SB 344, which dictates guidelines to allow a prisoner to file a habeas appeal based on science that is now known to be faulty; hundreds of arson cases are currently being reviewed by the Innocence Project.

Mr. Coy was convicted on testimonial evidence, not physical. Empirically, there was no evidence that a crime had occurred; there was no physical evidence, or even an attempt to collect any. The ‘symptoms’ named by the state had been with the child for months, perhaps years before the date of the supposed assault.

The scientists that testified for the state accused Coy of grooming his daughter to be his next victim, but when confronted about it, they admitted that they had no evidence of it. It was an opinion, no more.

While I sincerely hope that everyone wrongfully convicted using bad science is freed, I also wonder how those who were convicted without even a pretense of scientific evidence can have their cases reconsidered. How can we refute an opinion, offered with no proof and accepted as fact?

Sir, I urge you to review this conviction; I firmly believe that it will eventually be called into question, and I hope to see that happen sooner rather than later. Carlos Coy, like every citizen, deserves a fair trial; given the state of the District Attorney’s office under Chuck Rosenthal, any case not based on firm evidence should be questioned.

Me, my address, etc.
