adding additional CLAIM/GROUNDS for relief

Claim/ Grounds For Relief # 5 of 4 previously filed claims
A. The Trial Court Judge violated Applicant's Due Process Rights and committed Fraud on the Court

by the Court when she did not Acquit Applicant once the Jury found him Guilty of Murder, as alleged

in the Indictrnent.
B. State Prose'cutors and Defense Attomey's violated Applicant's Due Process
rights and committed fraud on the court by the court when they did not move to Acquit the Applicant
on the finding of Guilt by the Jury as alleged in the Indictment.
C. The Tri?_al Court Judge violated Applicant's due process rights, committed fraud on the court

l.

by the court, and tampered with govemment/state document/record when she entered one or more
false statements into the Jury Charge instructions .
D. State Prose686 S.W. 2D 157 (1984_).
by Judge 'I`eague.

The Fort Wortlh Court of Appeals stated the folln\azing in Almanza.vw State 645 S~W~ 2D 885 (\Tex.. Anpr-
Ft. Worth 19835: Although many recent opinions have off`-handedly dismissed the changing of “and” in
the indictment to “or” in the court's charge such approach is dangerous and usually fatal in matters
where aggravation or jurisdiction is involved. In the instant cause of aggravated rape the indictment
joined the allegation of threats of death to the standard form allegation of rape by the word and. In the
court's charge, (however), the aggravation feature was disj oined from rape by the word or. Such
constitutes fundamental error. Messenger v. State. 638 S.W. 2D 883 (Tex. Cr. App. 1982).
CONCLUSION
The Trial ~`Couirt and it's of`ficer's set into play a scheme to convict the Applicant of a Crime that he did
not commit, and as a part of many parts of that scheme , these officer's lied about the Charge stated in
the indictment and even documented and changed the words of “AND” and “Or” to “deceive” the
jurors
Each and .ever‘_y part of the Scheme was designed and calculated to injure the rights of Applicant and
because the sclheme was made of many parts, it should be apparent from the trial court record that
Applicant did not receive a fair and impartial trial.

Now, we're going to begin basically by telling you a
little bit about what happened the night of January
the 4th, 2008. We're going to tell you that on or about
that time, the address, 909 North Tenth Street in Fultonl
Texas, Aransas County -~ remember, we're talking about the
'elements -- on or about January 4th, 2008, in Aransas

Comnty. The allegations we
§ _________ lt mwwliww

have here is that the
defendants, §Q;ing alone or togeth

    

s
co~defendants -~aacting alone or together§

there, intentionally and knowingly cause the death et an
individual, Aaron Watson, by shooting the said Aaron
Watson with a firearm./

And, again% in Count Two we're alleging Lhe law of

gparties; that on or about January 4th, 2008, in Aransas

   

County, Texas, the defendants :cting alone or together

    

didl then and_thete, tutenttenally,
recklessly cause serious bodily injury to Aaron Watson by
shooting the said Aaron Watson with a handgun.

And it is further meted when we talked about this
particular indictment that was read to you and the
defendants did, then and there, cdmmit said offense with

the intent to establish,;maintain, participate in a

combination or the profits of a combination collaborated’

24 and carried out said criminal activity. Basically

ZBLENat they conspired with each other to commit this

 

'/..\`
y

13
1 particular offense.
2 Now, there's going to be some interesting things going
3 on in this particular case, some of the things you must
4 consider. First off, you're going to be hearing from
