Please allow me to draw
your attention to this article via the Huffington post, entitled, “Exonerations
Of The Wrongfully Convicted Hit Record High In The US In 2014”.
This is great news and,
as the writer points out,
“Of the total known exonerations in 2014, more than half were
obtained at the initiative or with the cooperation of law enforcement - the
highest number in a single year, the report found. Most of these were the work
of "conviction integrity units" set up by prosecutors to review
questionable cases.”
A large percentage of
these exonerations were out of Houston, thanks to what appears to be the
ongoing fuckwittery of the Houston Crime Lab. Numerous drug cases have been and
continue to be overturned. I may post up a letter to Harris County’s Post
Conviction Review unit in the coming weeks, although we have heard from them
before. http://www.spmaftermath.com/2011/09/post-conviction-writ-review.html
Although these units
rely primarily on DNA evidence to overturn cases, there are a few that were
decided because of coerced confessions and recanting witnesses. My hope is that
by more closely examining the case and the investigative methods, which Harris
County refuses to reveal, something like this can shake loose in Coy’s case.
