MOTION FOR REHEARING ©®|$ftTOFCRIMINALAPPEALS

FEB 05 2Mb

TO THE HONORABLE SAID:

Now Comes Jorge V. Porras, Applicant, pro-se, in the above styled an

and files

His "Motion for Rehearing" and will respectfully show the Court the following:

Applicant's 11.07 Writ was denied without written order on January 14, 2015.

II

1. On an Actual Innocence claim, this Honorable Court must review the writ; the

indictment reads that applicant caused the death ofthe victims, affidavits from eyewitnesses and

an F.B.I, agent, as well as all evidence, points to another person who caused the death.

i

2. On a Capital case the defendant cannot waive the right to a jury trial - implying that

only a jury can find one guilty in a capital case. Not the trial court, or a confession. Therefore

applicant's confession is not good for a capital case. Let's not forget that due to all the affidavits

pointing to the real murderer, we have a confession without evidence to support the confession

as law now requires and as pointed out in applicant's 11.07 writ.

3. This court is designed to review cases where one is restrained illegally of his liberty.

Applicant waived his right to a jury trial in a capital case for a capital life. Therefore his sentence

is void and null - the trial court had no jurisdiction to act as a court and ask the applicant to waive

a jury trial for capital murder and a capital life.
CONCIUSION

Applicant is restrained illegally of his liberty and this Honorable Court is asked to please

reconsider and review this 11.07 writ where all the law and argument are laid out.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the please search for the truth and give out mercy

mixed with justice. Applicant prays that this Motion be granted. For this applicant prays.
