Happy Thanksgiving

I recieved a call from SPM this evening; he's doing well, and wanted to wish us a happy Thanksgiving. No case updates, but we did have an interesting discussion about the election results. He's not a Trump fan.

Unfortunately TDCJ's restrictive new social media rules currently prevent me from posting a transcript or letter to y'all, but I do want to let you know that you can stay up to date on Carley Coy's activities at Dope World Entertainment on Facebook and Youtube.

Everybody have a safe and happy weekend, and hold your family close.

Hiatus

Temporary hiatus; I will update if I get any news.

Time

Sonia Cacy, who we heard about a while back, has been declared actually innocent. You can read her story here. Although she was released from prison after 6 years, it's been almost 18 since her wrongful conviction. She was fortunate to have a team of forensic scientists working to prove her innocence, as they eventually did.

For those of you hoping for Dope House updates, you can follow Carley Coy's continuing efforts here.

No Post

No post tonight; have a happy and safe Halloween!

Short Post

The New Yorker published a really great article about an investigator who specializes in possibly wrongful convictions. Take a look...

Oh For Fuck's Sake

Once again, a major Texas city’s crime lab shows that it can’t be trusted to ‘science’ correctly. Out of Austin:

The Austin Police Department held a late-afternoon press conference Friday to announce a late-afternoon Friday news dump kind of thing: The department's crime lab, shuttered since June after consultation with the Texas Forensic Science Commission and the American Society of Crime Lab Directors, didn't shut down voluntarily because a supervisor had succumbed to cancer. Rather, it closed after the FSC and ASCLD discovered a string of issues with the way APD was conducting DNA analysis – methods that may have affected a number of sexual assault trials in Austin over the past decade.
