AUSTIN TEXAS’

BENNIE DAVID GUY . c . PETITIONER

vs
sTATE oF TEXAS ` ' REsPoNDANT

MOTION FOR OBJECTIONS AND REBUTTAL OF-THE COURTS FACT FINDING
THAT WAS CLEARLY ERRONEOUS

To THE HoNoRABLE JUpGEs oF=sAID oouRT:
THE PETITIONER oR APPLICANT oBJEcTs '10 THE couRTs FINDING oF FAcrs IN THE
sAiD wRIT oF HABEAS coRPUs FILED 0N SEPT-B-zol$ for the following reasons;

'1. H`ISTORY oF THE cAsE
The applicant, BENNIE GUY Plead guilty to a coerced plea in July
of 1996 to the felony offence of sexural assault/criminal episode, and pursant
to the coersed plea was sentenced to 40 years in the Texas Dept of Crim justice
and confined as offender 01862511, at the stiles unit of the TDCJ, Housed at 1
3060 fm 3514, Beaumont, Texas , 77705.

On July 23, 1996 five days after the coersed plea Guy was rushed out the
state of Texas to the Arkansas dept of Corrections and was housed there
until June l3, 2013 when the state of Texas extradited Guy to the TDCJ.

Scence that date there has become evidence of Guys innocence and Guy
has filed it in the court and the court refuses to hear it all on the pretence
that Guy pled guilty to the crime, even to know Guy pled to it it was against
his will and he was threatened in to the plea. Scence Guy has become able

to do his own legal papers in to the court Guy has not stopped digging up

3

material that shows Guys innocence. Now the lower district court has made
plain error in the case before it and Guy ask this honorable court to look
at the evidence in the petition.

On July the firt, 1995 at 11:40 am The Investigator mr Shelton was at
his office in Longview Texas Gregg County, he had got a call from some one
there at the Sherrifs dept saying some one was there to talk to him of a
sexural assault . A 20 year old female came to his office and said-

[ PAGE 2 of the Gregg co Sheriffs dept supplemental report] paragraph 3

R/O Was advised by the victim that on friday night,O6/30/95 shéiibeen raped
by white male see page 1-12] here 'the alledged victim clearly states on
6/30/1995 is the date ofthe offence,not as the state said in its fact finding
of July l,95.(see exhibit l,) INVESTIGATORS REPORT. PG 1-2.

On 5-23~1996 Guy was extradited from Arkansas to Gregg county to stand trial.
Guy was given a public defender named Terry Jackson to repersent him on
5-30-1996 said attorney filed motion with the court to be removed because

Guy would'nt pled guilty and mr Jackson did nothing, not even the basic such
as fileing motion for discovery, {SEE EXHIBIT §Z; it will be court document]

Mr Jackson filed in the court 3 days prior to the coerces plea a motion
for the court to hire an investigator, he said he'd done no investigation
but 3 days later he pled Guy to 40 years in prison. Z§r-X .Q.o ¢`#(4‘3-'70
¢9£ .\»\,. CJ¢ f¢>po,»§¢/ v-»‘#

In this instant petition Guy filed a notorized affidavit from law enforce
ement officals and the State of Arkansas prosecutors office and courts of
St / Francis county Arkansas documents pretaining to Guys where abouts, These
motel recordsvaxused in a criminal trial and sworn to as true see the affidavit
of the law enforcement Captian. The motel records place Guy 500 miles away
from the state of Texas on 6/30/1995. at 9:30 pm Guy had checked in to a
motel in heath Ar`kansas, [SEE EXHIBIT # Z __I_T wILL BE THE RECEIPTS FRoM
THE HOTEL. TO PROVE GUY WAS NOT IN TEXAS ON 6/30/1995 as stated by the woman at
the night club,

In this instant petition habeas No. 23-613~B-H-2 Guy filed with the convé
icting court the documentation from the Arkansas law enforcement officals that
clearly put Guy 500 miles from Texas on the night of the Texas crime and the 124
th district court has made a grave error in its responce to the petition.

PAGE 36':of record / pg 5 of states responce reads.
If the non-motorized receipts are correct, Guy was in the shell lake ao
motel in Heath Arkansas both on 5/25/95 from 6:15 to 8;pm, and he
went back at 9:30 pm on Jungol995/j§£g l,was intered in to evidence
to suport a conviction of rape
page 6, STATES, Certainly, Guy could have committed a crime in Arkansas
on may 25, and been in Texas to committ this crime on July 1,1995

"HERES THE ERROR COMMI'I'I‘ED BY THE COURT"

See EXHIBIT |‘ _ITS THE INVESTIGATORS REPORT AND THE DATE OF WHICH
THE ALLEDGED VICTIM STATE SHE WAS RAPED AND IT WAS JUNE 30, 1995 Orl a friday
night. the victim stated she was attacked on 6/30/1995, Now the state is
misleading the court and judge in to beleaveing it was July l, EE, because
the Indictment states, on or aroung July l/l995. then the state goes on to
say july2, then july 3 , _ j v

if this honorable court will look at the EXHIBIT l THE INVESTIGATORS
REPORT AND VICTIMS STATEMENT SHE SAID 6/30/95 on friday night. the interview
was conducted at 10;40 am at the sherriffs dept on july l, 95 there is where
the state has the date wrong, and this wrong date is keeping the truth from

coming out that they have the wrong man in prison.

ARGUMENT
GUY HAS NOW PRCVED BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT HES INNOCENT

Guy has a notorized affidavit from a nother man stateing he was the
man that was in Texas and committed the crime Guy is in prison for SEE EXHIBIT
L§x._f| OF BILLY STEWARTS AFFIDAVIT,FROM 2013. it was not avaliable in
1995-6 nor while Guy was in Texas.

then 2015, Guy provides to the court a notorized affidavit from an Arkansas
law enforcement officer and the state prosecutor and the court finding the
affidavit and its motel receipts ture and correct. Stateing BENNIE GUY WAS
cHEcKING IN 10 A MOTEL IN ARKANSAS 500 MILEs AwAY AT 9":30 pm on June 30,
1995 when he was suposed to be in Texas committing a crime here. these affidavits

are signed by law enforcement, and dated .there certified documents. E;( '7,

IN CLOSEING

Guy objects to the states fact finding and rebutts the fact finding.
Guy has presented clear and convencing evidence of the 124 th courts error.
the indictment date of 'onor about july 1,1995 is wrong, Date should of been
June 30, 1995 as stated by the victim and the investigators report see exhibit

f zidlnvestigators report dated july 1, 1995 at 10;40 am at the sherriffs

depton saturday morning, the victim clearly states, paragraph 3, line 12, that
on friday night 6/30/1995 she was assaulted. and Guy now has court documents
proveing he was 500 miles awy from that woman and the town of longview Texas.

In the courts fact finding pg,70 of record, page 2 of the finding, state

(1)a:Guys plea in the Texas case was freely and voluntarily given.

Guy clearily fits in the middle of both actural innocent cases by the

“I began destroying evidence in 2011. I do not know who was responsible
for that before I began. I believe that it had not been done for some time, because
when I began, I destroyed some evidence from as far back as the 1970’8. It is now
our policy to hold on to evidence from capital murder, murder, and sexual assault
ncases, but I am not sure when that policy was implemented.” \
“I have been asked to search my records to see if the evidence requested by

BENNIE DAvn) GUY § GREGG coUNTY, TEXAS
AFFIDAVIT

Before me, the undersigned authority, personally appeared Adalia
Richmond, who after being duly sworn, stated the following under oath:

“My name is Adalia Richmond and I am over the age of 18 and competent to
make this affidavit I am employed by the District Clerk of Gregg County as a
deputy clerk for the last 24 years, and 1 am assigned to the 188th Judicial District
Court. I have knowledge of the procedures for exhibit storage areas of the Gregg
County District Clerk.

“I have been asked to look for evidence that was asked for by Bennie Guy, I
have searched for the evidence from Mr. Guy’s case, but have been unable to
locate the boots, comb, shirt and sexual assault kit referred to in Mr. Guy’s
motion. I have searched the entire vault, all the exhibit cards (which should list
everything in the vault on a particular case) and found no record of those items. I
had another deputy, Jhazmyne Williams, go back and check it again. There was no
exhibit card in this case, In the case file, I found an ‘evidence list’ prepared by the

Gregg County Sheriff , which listed the four items plus a burned vehicle as exhibits

 

 

 

 

'*"*“f°"’?'""`"""' "" .. ,. 114 ., . _ _... ..

‘A-E.’ That is not a list of State’s Exhibits from the trial, because at trial, State’s
exhibits are given numbers, not letters. l

“I have also checked with Debbie Kinney, our records manager, another
veteran deputy in our office_. She told me she found no record of State’s Exhibits
being destroyed.”

“I do not know where the requested evidence is.”
