The Case
In the early hours of a cold November morning in east Texas, five
people piled in a car for a short trip to Longview for
drugs. Twenty four hours later, two men were dead and
three men were in custody for murder.
Two best friends and one teenager just four months after his 18th
birthday, who had only known these people a few short
months were the three in custody. The two best friends made deals
(unsigned at trial time) to name the teenage acquaintance the
ringleader of the murders.
There are two things that motivate a prosecutor to leave deals
unsigned at trial. The most important motivation, disclosure. A deal
must be disclosed to the jury. By leaving the deal unsigned the
testimony that no deal existed is "truthful", therefore the
testimony can be trusted.
The second and least spoken about is the obvious control the
prosecutor has over the testimony. The teenager was Mr. Young, and
the compelling evidence that lead to his conviction was the
testimony of the best friends, a police chase, and juvenile records
from a time when this young man was tossed from parent to parent,
facility to facility.
"Proof beyond a reasonable doubt" is the standard for
conviction. The prosecution achieved this by soliciting lies
from one of the co defendants. This co defendant failed a lie
detector test, in front of his own attorney and the investigator for
the prosecution. The prosecution still called him as a witness and
incited his less than truthful testimony. This is called
prosecutorial misconduct. As an ethical question, it is unethical
for an attorney to solicit testimony that is known to be false.
"Preponderance of evidence" is the standard for the death penalty
question of future dangerousness. Somehow, Texas believes it has a
crystal ball, and can determine whether or not someone will be
dangerous in the future. When a jury believes in the punishment
phase of a trial that the convicted will commit more crimes from
behind bars, a death sentence is warranted.
I hope that after you view the documents in this site, you will
see that Clinton did not receive a fair trial. I hope that you
will help me prove this by obtaining further investigations,
documents, and evidence that will prove Texas still wants to
kill Clint even though they know he didn't kill
anyone.
