Re:       Cheecko Gilbert
Cause#:   30850

CONSENT TO EXAMrNATION:

Prior to examining Mr. Gilbert I explained to him the purpose of the examination. I told him that
I would be making a report to the court and that I might be asked to testify.

EXAMINATION:

Mr. Gilbert was examined at the Hunt County Jail on 12112/13 for about five minutes; he angrily
terminated the interview. though I observed him for a bit, thereafter. I also reviewed my previous
interview of2115/04, and I reviewed two criminal databases. I was not able to speak with anyone
in the community familiar with him.

CONCLUSIONS:

ln my opinion Mr. Gilbert does not have a sufficient presen~il~~ understand the proceedings
against him. He is also not capable of cooperating v.jth rus atiom~"ftn fonnulating a defense with
a reasonable degree of rational understanding~ I~ J~)Itjo~\ M'I?Gitbert has a severe mental
illness, paranoid schizophrenia, rendepng~im incHmpetJ(t{~\stand trial. I do believe that he will
regain competency in the   fol1!seeab\~~~~
Mr. Gilbert's disordered  thO~sses,                apparently delusions, preoccupation with these, lack of
regard for his current situatioh';:a1t'd irrational behavior make it not possible for him to cooperate with
his counsel, understand legal process, understand the adversarial nature of the courtroom, testify,
appreciate the possible consequences of his charges, and make rational choices in his defense. I
recommend inpatient competency restoration services.

HISTORY:

Mr. Gilbert was too impaired to give a history; according to my previous report, he was born and
reared in Greenville, Texas one of six children. His father was a custodian, and his mother was a
dietician at Presbyterian Hospital. Mr. Gilbert has reported that he had a good childhood, but he
dropped out of Greenville High School in the eleventh grade as he had too few credits. He has
claimed that he entered the "US Seals" and served in Vietnam, that he had developed "DPS" while
serving and was awarded a disability pension. At that time, he further claimed to major in
"Biography" at ETSU.

In any event, he returned to Greenville and he claimed he began hallucinating. In my 2004
evaluation, I noted that MHMR records show outpatient and inpatient treatment for paranoid
schizophrenia with a variety of medicines; Mr. Gilbert also had many legal problems, and he has
spent much time in County and State custo~y.
In my current interview Mr. Gilbert yelled about a conspiracy and "falsified documents" in 2008 that
had something to do with an alleged assault, and he soon angrily terminated the interview. He did
ramble loudly about something have somethlng having complete standing, but he stormed out before
I could figure out what he was talking about.

MENTAL STATUS EXAMINATION:

Mr. Gilbert was an African-American man who appeared about his stated age of fifty-seven years.
His grooming was indifferent. Mr. Gilbert's mood was one of marked anger; his emotional reactivity
was labile.

Mr. Gilbert was alert and questionably oriented. His memory and attention span seemed impaired.

Examination of Mr. Gilbert's thought content revealed the material noted above. His thought
processes were illogical and not goal-directed.

Mr. Gilbert was not able to explain to me the various roles of courtroom personnel. He also did not
seem capable of cooperating with his attorney in formulating a dc;f~~ with a reasonable degree of
rational. understanding. In short, the examination indicate\\:.th1f.~\~ffi~,ert was not competent to
standtnal.                                          ~r           \   ~

      circumstances, additional facts are needed. As we held in Ex.parte Rodriguez, 334 s:W.2d 294, 294

      (Tex. Crim. App. 1960), the trial court is the appropriate forum for findings of fact. The trial court

      shall provide Applicant's trial counsel with the opportunity to respond to Applicant's claim of

      ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court may use any means set out in TEX. CODE CRIM .

              If the trial court elects to hold a hearing, it shall determine whether Applicant is indigent. If

      Applicant is indigent and wishes to be represented by counsel, the trial court shall appoint an

      attorney to represent Applicant at the hearing. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 26.04.

              The trial court shall make findings of fact as to whether the performance of Applicant's trial

      attorney was deficient and, if so, whether counsel's deficient performance prejudiced Applicant. The

To Whom It May Concern:

       This is a statement from Moystomia Gilbert that I informed
Mr.Cheecko Gilbert Attorney Mr. Frederick C. Shelton numerous of
times before Mr. Gilbert trail als_o, doing his trail of his mental
condition. Mr.Shelton would not and did not present this information in
his defends even after, being told numerous of times. The transcript of
the trail will also, indicate that Mr.Shelton did not even put up a mirror
of a defertds for Mr. Gilbert.

                                                        NO. WR-73,076-01

..            AFFADAVIT:

              Response of Attorney Frederick C. Shelton to Inmate Cheecko Gilbert, Writ 05437

                        Mr. Gilbert always maintained that while he stabbed the victim, he acted in self defense, that

•             the victim had on prior occasions accosted Mr. Gilbert, and on this specific occasion was assaulting

              Mr. Gilbert with a board and Mr. Gilbert was in fear of bodily injury.

                        Further Mr. Gilbert was rational and responsive to questions and advice as we discussed his

              case on numerous occasions. At no time did Mr. Gilbert appear irrational or raise a physiatrical claim

...           as to competence to stand trial or to insanity at the time of the commission of the alleged offence .

                        At trial Mr. Gilbert's disability and veteran's service did come before the jury.

                        In regards to Mr. Gilbert's disability, I had been informed by my client that his disability was

              due to an injury on the job while Mr. Gilbert was a railroad employee.

                        Mr. Gilbert's theory of the case was always self defense. At trial Mr. Gilbert did testify 1:hat

              he did not intend to stab the victim. I had represented to Mr. Gilbert on many occasions that an

              accident was not self-defense. Mr. Gilbert maintained that it would be in his favor that the alleged

              victim was a Mexican and that the stabbing did not cause a serious bodily injury.

                        I had reviewed the medical records on numerous occasions with Mr. Gilbert so as to explain
     I~   •
              to hiin the seriousness of the incident, even that it was a life-threatening incident.

                        The scar and medical records speak for themselves. The jury understood that length of•:he
     ••
              scar was due to the surgery and heard testimony a..o:; to the appearance of the wound by the pol:ice

              office.

                                                                                                                 000005

  1. .

                      Mr. Gilbert took the stand and answered the questions put to him, testified that he acted in

      .        self-defense, that he was in fear of his life and that Mr. Limas was determined to strike him with a

               board. His testimony was consistent with the theory of self-defense which he maintained from the

      ..       very beginning of the case when I first interviewed him.

                      The only inconsistent statement at trial was that he did not intentionally stab the victim but
      •        that the victim lunged at him, stabbing himself, thus he was stabbed accidentally .

      •               I had explained to Mr. Gilbert on numerous occasions that the theory of self-defense did not

      .        included stabbing by accident.

                      My investigation ofwitnesses failed to support Mr. Gilbert's stater:nent of self-defense and
      •        I so informed him. I relayed to him the state's final offer of 10 years confinement in T.D.C

      •        SUMMARY

                      Mr. Gilbert was actively involved in his case and shown no signed of mental illnesses:
       •              He was lucid and able to articulate to answer all questions put to him.

                      He maintained a theory of self-defense from the first time I interviewed him. In fact I was

       ..      told by him that his disability check came from an accident on the railroad .

                      The only surprise I received was after going over his testimony with .him on numerous

               occasions, he took the stand and said the victi
