Ma’am,
I’m writing today about the case of Carlos Coy, #908426.
Recently,
Representative Harold Dutton of Houston introduced a bill to abolish the death
penalty in Texas; while I understand this is a controversial topic, I believe
that he has raised some valid arguments. Many Texans do question the fairness
of our justice system, and question whether we can morally apply the death
sentence when we have proof, in the bodies of many, many exonerated men and
women, that a conviction does not always unequivocally equal guilt.
For
those sentenced to death, however, there is a system of appeals and review that
may eventually lead to their exoneration. For those sentenced to anything less,
very little opportunity is given. Deference is given to the original trial court’s
decision, and nothing short of a miracle, or a revelation of gross misconduct
is enough to call these convictions into question.
Ma’am,
I am not a lawyer; I do not have the education, training, or experience to
remedy what I believe was a terribly mishandled conviction. You are in a
position to do so, and your recent support of grand jury reform gives me hope
that you may someday take an interest in Coy’s case. Please, take a look at his
trial, or have your Post Conviction Review unit begin an investigation. Please,
give us justice for this man.
Me, my address, etc etc etc.
