Garcia, in his failure tc file Relater's twc (2) moti.ons with the 229th Di-

and due process of law under U.S. Constitution 14th Amendment [See Gibson

          ARTICLE 40.001 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Provides
that a "new trial'• shall be granted an Accused where material evidence
Favorable to the Accused has been discovered since trial. Under this
statute a defendant is entitled to a new trial if the newly discovered
evidence was unknown to his at the time of trial; his failure to
discover the new evidence was not merely cumulative; corroborative;
collateral or impeaching; the new evidence is probably true and will
probably bring about a different result in a new trial SEE: Keeter V.
State, 74 S.W 3d 31,36-37 £Tex. Crim.App 2002q.
     -'

          There was no evidence by anyone but accomplice witnesses tending
to connect the Defendant to the Capital Murder charge. To the Contrary
the only witness tending to do so was Gerardo "Jerry" Lopez, an
accomplice as a matter of law. On the basis of Art 40.001 in the Coda
of Criminal Procedures, this Bon: Court should grant a. new trial under
reeant.      u.s.c.A.   Const.Amend.14.

Lopez, an aceompice did Confess His Crime to [F.B.r agents and Texas
Ranger Pacheco, and Investigator Flores], and .was indicted on Capital

for the death of Jessie Ray \·Jarr:en. D .. A's threats kept gl)ing if Lopez's did
not testify against Defendant, he will give co-defendant the Death Penalty.
Mr.Heriberto Sllva•s had also used Jose Luis Ramos, co-defendant's court e
appointed counsel, to info-rm Lopez•s his lif was      in danger, if haa do not
testify against Ismael Diaz ,Jr., saying that it \'zas Ismael Oiaz ,Jr., the
one r~sponsible for Jessie Ray t.Jarren deaeh. Mr. Silva's kept his threats lf:i
and ·ps:omises, (gave co-defendant, a 30 year sentenc.G for exchanging Lepe~t • s
Confession to give a inculpaed testimony, and D.A. would not seek the Death
Penalty on co•defendant•s]. Ineulpaeting Applicant's Ismael Oiaa,Jr., for
a crime he did not cornmi t i\1 Starr County t Texas. Appellant Contends, his
Confession were involuntary in the Fifth Amendment sense. Under the Fifth
Amendment, a confession must be free and voluntary, that is, it must not
be extracted    by any sort of threat or violence. nor abtained by any direct
or implied promises, hm·1ever slight t nor by the er.ertion of any improper
influence. SEE: Criminal law 520(1),522(1). Improper influence U.S.C.A.
