This'n'That

Many of you have been contacting me, asking if I've spoken with Coy, and how he's doing. I'm sorry to say that I haven't heard from him, but last time we spoke he was doing well. It looks like TDCJ still has him listed at the Ramsey unit.

Trae the Truth did an interview with Vladtv.com, in which he mentions SPM briefly around the 9:20 mark. You can see that here: http://www.vladtv.com/article/216145/trae-tha-truth-details-facing-40-years-as-a-teen-brothers-life-sentence Thanks to commenter Mike from ATX.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals is fucking around with the junk science writ intended to allow convicts to appeal convictions based on science we now know to be flawed, as per Grits for Breakfast. Given that this was an avenue I believed might have offered a chance for Coy's retrial, it's disappointing. It's one step forward and two steps back in Texas, but I want to remind you that the situation never hopeless.

I never thought to see so much interest in wrongful convictions, but the last couple of years have provided numerous cases with unbelievable publicity. Don't give up hope; keep talking about it, thinking about, writing about it. We'll get where we need to be eventually.
