    MAY 18 ,2015
    On Nov. 18 ,2013 while attendlng therapy for my condition after suffering a
    stroke, 1 received a phone ca11 from a police 6ff1cer who advised me 1 had a
    warrant for my arrest. He asked me if 1 was home and 1 told him no 1 wasn 't and
    what address was he calling me from. He told me he was at 5706 Northridge and 1
    .told him that wasn 't my house but my grandfathers house. The officer then asked
    me how long it would take me to get there and 1 told him about 45 minutes. When
    1 arrived at the above stated address, and departed my vehicle, the officers
    came out from the house and informed me that 1 was under arrest for assault of
    a family member. 1 was then placed in the squad car and taken to city jail for
    (3) days, and then transferred to Harris County Jail. 1 was advised of (3) charges
    against me:
    1). Assault of a family member
    2). Felony poss. of a weapon
    3). Felony poss. of a controlled substance
    1 remained in Harris County Jail for approx. a year fighting these charges. My
    Attorney was R. P. (Skip) Cornelius. This man was telling me to sign a plea bargain
    the whole time while telling my mother he was going to get the charges dropped.
    The officers only had an arrest warrant and no search warrant. Either way, the
    residence was not mine. 1 had gone by there that morning after going to the phar-
    macy to get my prescriptions filled to see my grandfather for a bit before going
    to therapy. When 1 left 1 forgot my prescriptions and they were placed in a bed-
    room for safe keeping until 1 came back for them. The police, without a search
    warrant, found items in that house and because my medication bottles were in the
    same room they found the other items, 1 was charged .erroniously.
    While detained at Harris County 1 continually brought these facts up to my
    attorney. 1 also kept asking about the D. A.' s evidence and my attorney said,
    "they ain 't gotta show me '1 finally wrote the D. A. myself, as a result
    two of my charges was dropped.-
    After speaking to the D.A. in court 1 was told that the gun was a 45 cal. and
    there were two packets of drugs; one amphetamine and one cocaine. 1 pointed out
    the fact that 1 was a disabled right handed person, how was 1 gonna use a gun?
    And also the police didn' t have a search warrant. 1 was told they had photo' s.
    1 said 1 wanted to see finger prints or something proving those things were mine.
    -:¢1-
    My attorney advised me at that time to take the eight years cause if we go to
    trial my past record of (1) felony and (6) misdemeanors would aid in getting me
    more time as circumstantial leading to probability. l found out also that my a
    court appointed attorney had asked my mother to get me to take the eight years
    or face more time in prison. He continually advised me to sign-sign-sign or my
    past would get me more time, regardless Qf whether or not l was guilty.
    Finally, on Oct. 24,2014, feeling like l had no other choice l signed for the
    eight years. After getting to prison on Feb. 23,2015, l received a communication
    from the D.A.'s office-(Mr. Bax), informing me that they had determined there
    were no finger prints of mine found regarding cause #1408898,orz#1438396g§HeeSaid,j
    that my attorney of record for the defense Should address the matter of illegal
    conviction in the 262nd District court due to the fraudulant evidence and as l
    consider it- coercion by court appointed officials.
    l have filed a post-conviction 11.07 writ on March 19,2015. l pray my situa-
    tion be looked upon in a timely and reasonable manner, So that an injustice can
    be nade right.
    So the court knows, I'am Still disabled to the point that l cannot write. All
    my correspondence is being done with the assistance of some caring associates
    l here in prison. l pray fervently for the courts mercy and understanding in this
    very important matter, with the hope they'll correct an incorrect action.
    Respectfully submitted,
    C.\X \c,
