Lawrence "Larry" Myers and Ex Parte Elizondo

If you are interested in the Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 2, race and Lawrence "Larry" Meyers, you might want to read EX PARTE ELIZONDO, 947 S.W.2d 202 (Tex.Cr.App. 1996). He refers it as Elizondo v. State on his web site, but it is an enlightened and interesting opinion.

It is amazing that in 1996 there were still judges that did not believe that a defendent should not be able to raise innocence after conviction on appeal unless there was a constitutional violation. They didn't think that they had time to consider such a frivolous issue.
