EXPANTE LOYD LANDON SORROW
RECEIVED IN COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS APR 242015
MOTION FOR REHEARING OF APPLICHY FOR CRIMINAL APPEALS
FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS ENAANC
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS;
COMES NOW Loyd Landon SORROW, Applicant, pRo se in the above styled,and numbered cause, and respectfully submits this Motion for Rehearing EN BANC in accordance to Texas Rules of Appellate Proceclures # 76 (d) and (f), and Requests a written opinion pursuant to Rule # 72d, and a ruling under #781(6)(d) or 78.3 .
The applicant will offer the following in accordance to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule # 75 f, because there are substantial intervening circum stances on New Evidence supporting Actual Innocence, Brady / Giglio Violations, and Denial of Due Process Rights, provided by both Texas and United States Constitutions.
I.
Submitted with this Motion, I have provided a true and correct copy of an Affidavit by Maria Jan Santini, who was an eye witness of the States only witness Refusing to cooperate in any type of trial proceedings, Refuseing to cobrab erate any charges, Refuseing confrontation, Refuseing to speak to the states prosecutor, Refuseing any participation with the charges
*2
in the cause of 874978 , or to give witness for or against the applicant at atrimal.
Only three people was in the States Prosecutors of Eice, and Moela JAN Santini was one of them.
She only now revealed to me that the States witness withdrew.
The prosecutor came to me angry and in a loud voice told me we were going teia!'
He'NEVER' gave me in informatin' on about not having a witness or any evidence.
This sheds doubt on the truthfulness of the accuracy of the informatinn on the in- dictment on this case.
II.
Judge Wallace of the 263 rd Judicial Distaict Court of Harris County in Houston Texas, requested that the State presecutor give a response if my Due Process Rights have been violated in Regard to Ms. Santini's Affidavit.
The state said that it never Reccieved the affidavit and made a proposed answer with out Revieming the AEEidavit, and never answered if my Due Process Rights had been violated.
Thetreial court adopted the States Answer, without a hearing or sending a copy of the AEEidavit to the State, at which it was shuftled off to the Court of Criminal Appeals.
Now this same Habeas corpus petition has been dismissed without any answer on the New Evidence.
*3 III.
This new evidence should be taken seriously because it reveals prosecutorial misconduct, and establishes my claim of Innocence.
Article I sec. 12 to the Texas Constitution commands: "The merit of habeas corpus is a merit of of Right, and shall never be suspended.
A hearing is due on this new evidence to bring about the truth, and resolution on the merits to free an innocent man. Without it I can't appeal. See, Exparte Steno 30 s. 666 (Tev.Cell.Appl. 1575).
PRAVER
The applicant prays that this Honorable Court demands the applicants Habeas petition/application for a hearing on the merits of the case, and a review of the new evidence by the States Attorney's, with a proper answer about the Due Process Rights of the applicant as is required by their Oath of Office provided by State and Federal Constitutions.
UNWORN DECLARATION
I hereby swear for fear of perjury that all of the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my abilities and knowledge.
