like for you to let the listeners know who you are, share what you
7:41
would like for them to know. On tonight, I have dedicated these three
7:46
nights to sharing about those that are incarcerated within the TDCJ. Once is from
7:51
behind the Wall is what I titled this because I really want to give you
7:57
an opportunity to speak on your situation and anything that you would have us to
8:01
know about you. Okay, it's a lot to wrap up in one little
8:09
session. But uh, I started off, I know at the early age.
8:13
You know, I was eighteen, I had a visit and uh like
8:16
you mother, my daughter's mother, and I had a son on the way.
8:18
So you know what I'm saying, I had a lot of responsibility on
8:20
my hands at the time. So you know, it was running behind on
8:24
the rent now that and you know said last time, you know, they
8:28
had give a division. They came into all our fransy and all that stuff
8:33
and tried to come abide and rectify the situation. But at the same time,
8:39
you know, it was it was a lot of stuff that that that
8:41
done that should have been done. So and then you know we went down
8:46
there. But you know, charge ump capital murder and you know that's that's
8:54
that's that's not a good charge out here because the Carris five to night that
8:58
life, you know what I'm saying, and probably being Noah, that was
9:00
my first time ever being locked up, you know what I'm saying, in
9:03
my in my entire life, So I wasn't you know, I was a
9:05
typical kid out there, you know what I'm saying, Get into no little
9:09
mission here, and there. But you know, nothing of this back to
9:11
but same time, no things happened, so no time changed. So no,
9:18
but you know I was I was indicted. When I first got into
9:22
county. I had two attended murder cases. So I'm saying, uh,
9:26
from this charge right here, two people shot, so went to people shot.
9:31
You know that that they charged carriage through the twenty you know, I
9:33
just it's pretty much like a great sour or whatever, which you call the
9:37
compton. But every time, uh, down here in Texas, they show
9:41
corrupt, you know what I'm saying. I didn't have attorney for seven days
9:46
after I had no actual attorneys, so I was just again that Yeah,
9:50
it came reindicted me. I was convicted of potential capital work. So but
9:58
I'm thinking that you know, according today's low you know, you're supposed to
10:01
have the indicted. This myth once you get a dyting dismiss that should get
10:05
me indicted. I kind of find after coup of the records to get my
10:09
mother along with some one thing that came to light, and it was saying
10:13
that, you know, uh, dismissal. And after I had that conviction
10:18
the day after my trial, I'm like, uh, that mean to indict
10:22
a lot. I got charge attention capital birth. So it's a bun.
10:24
It's a bun that went on, it should have went on, and and
10:28
you know it's it's it's a lot of dealers getting it down here and tective
10:31
with bro system, you know, the accumulated down here, and they keep
10:35
giving people set off. You know what I'm saying, Really, you got
10:39
a basic faand for yourself, reabilitate yourself, you know. So I had
10:41
to throw a much set down here learning if you came on my own because
10:45
of the time, you know, you had the time down here in Texas.
10:48
You gotta chance this help educate yourself. You know what I'm saying,
10:50
that you choose to you know, so so I come down here and get
10:54
it something. You know, everybody learning a different levels of life. So
10:58
but you know again about that uhrus he it was the time that I had
11:05
an ex wife, she had her my friend they had put together. You
11:09
know what I'm saying. They wanted me out of here. No bag got
11:11
to do that much to change, you know, I need enough change the
11:15
way called a guy named College Rich and uh he appointed to do like Frank
11:20
Sanaba and as you know if people with fans attention down here in che the
11:24
college and risks, uh, come victed up apart the scheme and into my
11:28
money and do nothing. So I had went to the state park and told
11:31
him about it, so that he's said Frank Centabal down there talked to me.
11:35
He told me, hey, man, write this down. We go
11:37
to do it by the cage. What what this and that we own it
11:41
and all that. So all right cool, okay. After I had got
11:43
the people on him, so after that when he came, when he when
11:48
he left, they had the same part that sent me uh uh what you
11:52
call it a letter? Let me know that. Yes, Frank Tinaba said
11:56
speak then said nothing all remedies and there's nothing that you can do. Go
12:00
on you okay somebody well he he he didn't tell me that, you know
12:03
what I'm saying. He told them fro less. Uh. So I went
12:05
part of state board bridge on them and they got one. They didn't give
12:11
more money back, but they gave him ver repend him a verbal reprimand so
12:15
I'm like, you know, he was in the wrong. He can do
12:18
nothing about betting the money. Gave then another mission, have miss I had
12:22
uh my family had paid for time to these keeple got for the periods of
12:28
the Leagua News. So, uh, it was a group out of Florida,
12:31
and we gave them fifteen hundred. I try to attack that. They
12:35
say, hey, man, we need you to cause your wife get this
12:39
information, get that information of these copies, and so they can't come back.
12:43
Now that's not the copies, right, you know, that's not the
12:46
right copies. So we go back and we did that several times and then
12:48
they went I say, well, we'll go ahead and do it because find
12:52
that is they remembers all that. So it's kind of hard do out here
12:56
trying to feel for yourself at the same time try to get your story out
12:58
to the people that's listening. You know, it's it's it's so much,
13:01
you know what I'm saying. So so one of the uh, we we
13:05
have a guest that's watching and she wants to know, are you in touch
13:11
with the Innocence Project? But pect what they really won't there it's the really
13:18
won't you be actually always you know what I'm saying situation, Like I said,
13:24
uh, like they didn't get a chance my ssidecast past test block.
13:28
He evaluated me. He ran the uh uh uh, the roapture, the
13:33
roature in pod test, the speaker eye road test. It was a multiple
13:37
question test, I'm saying. And with that he had evaluating and diagnosed with
13:41
it. So spit and because like I said, I had black eye.
13:45
So I really don't know, be honest. But actually everything the whole situation
13:50
down, you know what I'm saying. So you know it's like, yeah,
14:00
what what was that? Uh? She want there? She wanted to
14:03
know are you in touch with the Innocense project? But you answered that question.
14:07
So one question I have for you. You you mentioned that your charges
14:13
were dismissed, but it was dismissed after after they found additional charges. Is
14:22
that what happened? Not what was What was said was okay. When I
14:28
first got locked up, they charged me with two attempted murders. M hm.
14:33
That character. I sat in counting you within all this happened. I
14:37
had actual attorney. I didn't have a little trainey so sitting an account no
14:39
attorney. Then they came back and rein thanking me. You know what I'm
14:43
saying. Days later, but months later, what I'm saying, so I
14:48
still out on account of seven the days. No, lord, you know
14:50
what I'm saying. Yeah, they may me they went when they ran for
14:56
I wasn't want to say to uh they had admitted that. Uh that that
15:01
reindictment that men did this coustomers name that When I had asked my Atturney when
15:05
I had him at the time, right before a trial, it was like
15:07
troops, like two weeks before a trial, and I asked, hey,
15:09
man, it's just gonna help them hurt me. He said, oh,
15:11
man, it's gonna help me. So after my time died here lame,
15:15
like I say, lame to the law. And I've been in the study.
15:16
Okay, so you know, trying to get better better. I come
15:18
to find out that you have changed the name any type of indictment where the
15:24
special's victim. That's that's smell, you know what I'm saying. And it's
15:28
important for you to either uh uh contest that or or or go go with
15:35
it, you know what I'm saying, depending on the situation. So and
15:39
I come find out. So I'm like, man, this man has to
15:41
be against me once I take everything out, because he told me it's gonna
15:45
it's gonna help me. But at the same time, if he were to
15:46
contest that, it would have helped out. So he hurt me on that.
15:48
Then he was my he was my peer lawyer, and he was my
15:52
PDR lawyer, you know what I'm saying. So every time that chatter I
15:56
got on him. You know, he wasn't find it on hisself, so
15:58
you know, I dealing with that. So he was your defense lawyer.
16:03
Then he was your appeal lawyer too, and he was my PREPRD life.
16:10
Wow, you know, I get around out of there, you know what
16:11
I'm saying. And I didn't get him for seven days after I was in
16:15
a cdegory indict I ain't. I ain't had no large contest anything that was
16:18
doing on you know what I'm saying. So then he didn't. He kind
16:23
of objected, but they had shot it down. And uh, you know,
16:27
dealing with uh the statue in order with a statue, you have to
16:33
prove every helevent a statue in order to have that statue charge the issue,
16:37
you know what I'm saying. So and in my case, you have,
16:41
uh it's called a tenth the capital murder where it's starting the capital murder,
16:45
and it's Oune of nineteen the statu in nineteen o three eighty seven eight.
16:48
So you know what they said, you got to prove that and you got
16:53
to have a predaicire murder. There was no predicant murder mentioned, you know
16:56
what I'm saying, because you have to have what you have what you call
17:00
a murder to win vote when when I mean both, and you got to
17:03
have something like like spark if you want to be in ladan terns, you
17:07
know what I'm saying. So with that, you got to have a predative
17:10
murder war or accurate editor. They didn't have that, So you got to
17:15
have a nineteen three and you got the conjunction and then you got to continue.
17:18
So all they really had was the two at him to murder against you,
17:22
you know what I'm saying, and and that those are those are the
17:25
fact that they add on the on the uh the section seven, you know
17:30
what I'm saying. So with that said, they don't have everything. And
17:33
then with the approved so when my trial to the prosecutors, they said the
17:37
jersey and made them seem like, hey man, you don't need this,
17:41
you don't need that. They didn't tell them every instruction they needed to know
17:45
what the statue participate of and I I have right right right here? Did
17:52
this comes transcripts. That's what the prosecutor said to the jeers. He said
17:56
he didn't need anything that want I want to repeat that. He said he
18:00
didn't need anything to happen to it accomplished the offense a temple of capital murder
18:04
other than these two people that die. Well, I would like everybody know
18:08
that there's no one there was no death within this discharge. And then it
18:12
went on to say the evidence clearly showed he's guilty of a tempted capital murder,
18:18
and because he's gifty of a tempted murder of two people, he's to
18:22
give the tempt the capitol murder. And that's all you acted considered at this
18:26
point. Well, I'm like, how is that just just the mere shooting
18:30
of a gun? The point of timp love you should do that had each
18:33
other you know charge, you know, timp the captain just got two people
18:37
shot shot. You know what I'm saying. So they show you right that
18:40
they say you're not you're not asking to consider anything at this point, so
18:44
that that that's a misleave of the jerr right there. So I was the
18:48
other stuff, don't you know. Like I said, people, you don't
18:51
start learning till you die. So I'm still letting you know how they name
18:56
a long way and you know, breaking my cakes down and stuff. At
18:59
the same time, it's still much more to learn, right wow, And
19:04
and and I just I'm I'm I'm listening to you, and my heart goes
19:10
out to you because I am a survivor of domestic violence and I was shot
19:15
point blank range with a sad off shotgun. They originally, they originally charged
19:22
my husband with attempted murder, but then as they started digging into the case
19:29
and digging in and digging in, he eventually got off with I think it
19:36
was I don't even remember what it was, but he ended up doing eighteen
19:40
months. It was pretty much he what the time he served in the county
19:47
was pretty much what he did and there was no more. So that is
19:52
crazy. How long was you sentenced to? What is? My friends?
20:00
Though, I gotta like sense they gave me like uh, like I say,
20:04
originally my original charge you don't care two twenty and uh you know that,
20:11
like I say, they were being vindicted. Whatever is what I'm saying.
20:14
I gotta have a grabbing, the grapping when it's Kyle, Uh,
20:18
what what charge for us? Like? How you're getting that charge and the
20:22
grabbing the simple capital murder or any type of murder, any type of charge
20:26
intensionally the norse. Okay, if I blacked out and I don't remember that,
20:32
if I'm telling my life this and getting the tycast, wanted to testify
20:34
my behalf. I mean, if I don't remember the day and I don't
20:37
understand what's going on the mental part of going on at that time, get
20:45
that sold. What where is the tension annoying that? And can you tell
20:48
me how old you were again when this happened? Uh, I was eighteen
20:52
years old. I was young at high school when you was eighteen. And
20:57
that that's crazy because with all of the laws that they are passing now and
21:04
all of the different discoveries in different cases that they have been you know,
21:11
going over they have said, I know in New York they passed some statues
21:18
where if you were convicted of a crime, because there's some individuals that were
21:22
convicted of murder charges what they got on when they were eighteen there serving time
21:32
they actually got their case backed up. I think this guy said he was
21:37
giving back forty four years and he was able to come home after they changed
21:42
that law and re looked at these different cases. But they're saying that until
21:49
age twenty one or twenty five, you know, you're not able to really
21:53
conceptualize what is going on because of the front and low, you know,
21:57
and it's been proven they tested improving that. So for them to I mean,
22:04
for them to change your from two to twenty and give you life,
22:11
that was just crazy and nobody lost their life right well for that law up
22:18
and take the difference down here, like I three occasional, Uh expeam what
22:25
they did with that time to get behind They say, the poet on the
22:29
court of the brain, it's not developed in the mail until you're like twenty
22:32
five. So my in my mind, you letting people out there at this
22:36
time, you got all these mad shooting going on that they trying to say.
22:38
My case is about I don't know, I'm not no mad shooter.
22:41
You know what I'm saying with that, Uh give me that do buy them?
22:47
Done at them at twenty one? Eighteen shot, you know what I'm
22:49
saying. And but you stowing down here and taking a seventeen and under you
22:55
have to be the chevent team. None. If they had that law,
22:56
that what they wanted to pass, they still had these passes. You know
23:00
what I'm saying. That's what the truelile. You know what I'm saying.
23:03
So in my mind, I felt at least twenty white the great twenty one
23:06
years old, where the average person you know, a lot of not Uh,
23:14
we didn't have a lot of guys, you know what I'm saying.
23:15
We had guys, but you know a lot of you know what's against a
23:18
lot of stuff and took our own route and roads in life. And when
23:22
at the time and life when people can't change, transform, you know,
23:26
into something better. Come drawing from board to a man to have a better
23:29
character, and they asked himself to a better opportunity. So what they said,
23:33
I don't understand how they can come to things log in other states and
23:37
kicks you don't recognize it. It's like they got their own tiffy institutes down
23:42
here. What they want to, they do what they want to basically,
23:45
you know, because uh, another thing in my case, Uh, during
23:49
public reports, my mum discovered uh and our reading and reports you had witness
23:53
that they never my lawder. You never found out a bout him. The
23:56
proscum that a certain things about them. But he was the guy that was
24:00
in the apartment complex and he said he seen his suspect get away in a
24:03
blue pan Like I said, I had a white oath mobile, you know
24:06
what I'm saying. And then you had you had one of the victims that
24:08
was in the hospital, you know what I'm saying. They probably they brought
24:11
the uh which got a photo line up and it's a core question mark my
24:15
lawyer had he did do that. In course he did say uh that that
24:19
the person wasn't even sure who I was and they put the question here at
24:22
him, you know. And then on top of that, either victim never
24:26
said they seen anyone shoot to guy. They didn't see who fires then,
24:30
so I'm like, and another thing, they never made a statement like I
24:34
said before. The only statement they made it with to Carl Wiperson that was
24:37
one of the victims of civil civil laws, which suit's apartment complex and the
24:41
apartment complex. And again so we you know what I'm saying. So it
24:45
was just like I said, there was a lot of you know, uh
24:48
period motives set behind everything. Even though the event that I don't. I'm
24:55
not condone and I'm not so uh uh saying I'm going for but it was
25:00
the right thing and nothing like that. You know I'm saying. I'm just
25:02
saying, I was just trending for my own family, you know. And
25:06
like I say, they say, I'm here, you know what I'm saying.
25:08
They want let the uh uh that guy testified say who No, No,
25:12
I don't know. Like I said, I fact that. So I'll
25:15
just because here. It's the same time. I just want everybody to know
25:21
this was the prestident a curse. I look at it like that because job,
25:25
you know, and you know, I can still be out there,
25:26
like to say, I could be out there and I didn't had a lot
25:30
of people out there that I know that I love friends. You know what
25:33
I'm saying, that sucking them to the streets. So but I came down
25:37
here rebilitate myself. Baby, you know what I'm saying. The little Colassic
25:41
psychology and those shots and history no real to state financially, you know,
25:45
dayhood financially, I'm saying, I tell so out the better person in society
25:53
and andy out and come back. Correct thing I have been old my you
26:00
know what I'm saying, And like you say, you would depicting on a
26:03
dom avider and I have I want to do stuff that according to that you
26:07
know what another probably called last three live in a social try and take some
26:11
reaching action effidence in the dream and it's gonna it's gonna get to the court.
26:15
But you can come up and realize you know different things and they can
26:18
get uh talk on different levels, and you know the mail and the people
26:22
that can learn that. You know what I'm saying, Love, it's not
26:25
about anything about buying anything like that, and it's an unfortunate that you had
26:29
to go from that, you know what I'm saying. You know, at
26:30
the end of the day, everything come together, right. So I would
26:37
like for you to tell if there's any any way that people can assist you,
26:44
what can they do to to help you in your situation. So I
26:51
just I like somebody that'll sit down, like I said, like, okay,
26:56
this real history abroad. I got told I can't it's hard. I
27:00
can have stuff everywhere. I just wanted to sit down and baby, look
27:03
at the paperwork that I did because, like I said, I throwed up
27:04
my own case with the laws afford it and everything. And I just walked
27:10
in the babers look at it and just see that I deserve another chance and
27:14
I and they can see that, uh in the system, you know,
27:18
maybe something of you incarceration that I'm up projects with the life says I have
27:23
so no and you know with the uh and uh you know mine, I
27:30
have to do thirty years before come on up about it. I'm twenty six
27:33
years. Then I got four years to come up. Well, it's nice
27:36
the guarantee that I get out there, and it's it's what what what it
27:40
is? It's like you just come up nor she said, asked you.
27:45
I said, uh, when you come off, it's not guaranteed to get
27:53
polled in. So they getting us on on the fellow standard yew and and
28:00
And that's one of the things that I have been really stressing. Outside of
28:07
the corruption that is going on in the state of Texas, I have really
28:11
been pushing the fact that they need to review that parole process because I feel
28:18
like it's unfair. I feel like t d c J is not set up.
28:25
They don't believe in rehabilitation, and they make it hard for individuals that
28:32
that that want that that want to a second chance. And I really think
28:37
that the citizens of Texas need to stand up and they need to speak up
28:41
for I. I know, people make mistakes, and there's a lot of
28:45
people that you know should be behind prison walls that's not and and some of
28:52
these people should be standing up and and speaking up and against all of this
28:59
and justice in all of this unfairness, because there's a lot of things.
29:03
I constantly google corruption in the state of Texas, and every time I Google,
29:07
I come up with something new, something that I didn't see before.
29:11
You know, everybody knows that I'm not from Texas, but this is something
29:15
that was brought to my attention, and it was brought to my attention,
29:18
and I just felt I felt obligated to have to do something about this.
29:25
It's because it's just unfair. It's unfair that you have lawyers who were prosecutors
29:33
and they it seemed like they're working for the other side, and then they
29:37
go on to become assistant das and district attorneys, and then they get on
29:41
the Court of Appeal and it's just like they're blocking y'all out of the system.
29:47
It's like y'all don't have a fair chance at all. And I just
29:52
don't understand. I am constantly emailing and posting to these congress people and these
29:59
representing to you know, you you have these positions, utilize these positions for
30:04
the people that you say that you are serving. You you say that you
30:08
are serving the people. You are, you are the peoples, you are
30:11
elected by the people. Do your job. You know, they keep turning
30:17
down, They keep keep out setting stuff and turning down this. They had
30:25
some some legislation for the juveniles, and and because of wording, because of
30:30
the way something was worded, they turned it down. You know, I
30:34
just don't understand the state of Texas. But if you google corruption, the
30:38
governor comes up, and that's a problem. If your governor comes up,
30:44
then it's starting at the head. That mean he got he he is ConTroll
30:48
of all this corruption. And then all they doing is covering up. They
30:52
they covering up what the last district attorney did, what the district attorney before
30:56
that did, and the districttorney before that. And when I say I am
31:00
calling for the d OJ, the Department of Justice to come in and investigate
31:06
because they need somebody outside, someone that does not have an invested interest to
31:11
come into the state of Texas and go through the state of Texas upside down.
31:15
I mean, they need to cross every t and die every I until
31:19
they figured out where all this corruption is and get rid of these people.
31:23
These people need to be held accountable for the lives that they have impacted,
31:27
in the lives that they have changed. Because these people lives have been changed,
31:32
you can't take back twenty thirty forty years that you've taken from people for
31:37
being wrongfully and overly incarcerated. It is sad, and it's affecting our brown
31:44
people. These are the majority of other people. I look at all of
31:48
the statistics, I look at a lot of the things that is happening in
31:51
the State of Texas, and it's affecting our brown people, the Mexicans and
31:56
the brown people or who is affected. And that's sad. But before we
32:02
close, before time run out, I definitely I want you to share some
32:09
of the things that you are doing because you are not allowing what the position
32:15
that you're in to stop you. You are still trying to make a difference.
32:20
You are still trying to be that change that you want to see in
32:22
this world. And I want people to know what you're doing and what you
32:28
hope to do in the near future, so share that if you would,
32:32
well a lot. Like I said, I'm I'm I won't boltures up and
32:40
down here. I have too, that's kind of right at the time.
32:44
Born from the street and I have a flower to be. I also have
32:49
which god like Anne type. So I'm kind of diverse on the right now.
32:52
I don't object myself just to urban down like the mainstream. Several things
33:00
around play flavor of blood. You know, I got to sell a screen
33:04
place that I'm working on. I study more right first time. Uh,
33:08
Like I said, I want to do the process. I have a clothing
33:13
line I did or I have drawn up. I have several I got several
33:16
things I got up from a planning. The main thing is trying to get
33:21
out and have impact on the side where the kids that's coming up the way
33:27
I came up, in the conditions in the fire that I understand. And
33:30
the people live here and out there, that's that's you know that we're in
33:34
them private so you know it's not in the best towns. Everybody else,
33:37
you know, can go to our circumstances that they can have a better chance
33:39
to have somebody that got there and show them better questions. So you know,
33:44
there's a lot of things I want to do with that, and you
33:46
know, you know, things like that. So yeah, I have several
33:51
things working on the pretty uh two of my novels coming out open and everything
33:55
goes well. I had them coming out and they basically check them out.
34:00
Well. Again, I appreciate you for sharing your story, and We're definitely
34:06
gonna keep lifted in our prayers and I'm gonna keep sharing this story and until
34:13
somebody decide that they're gonna do right. You know, I I truly believe.
34:20
I believe in rehabilitation, and I believe in second chances, and I'm
34:24
not gonna stop until something is done about that parole board and and how they're
34:30
setting off and how they're doing things. But there's definitely a urgent need for
34:37
the Department of Justice to come in and and to start with the head and
34:43
go all the way down to the least of them to figure out exactly how
34:47
corrupt the state of Texas is and what we can do to get Texas back
34:52
on track. Because I realized that people do do stuff and and and we're
34:59
not saying that we do don't want people to, you know, pay for
35:00
the crimes that they do. But some of the things and how they get
35:05
these how they get these these these these these convictions, It is not acceptable.
35:13
You don't ruin people's lives just to to to to make yourself look good
35:19
and to to move up in the corporate ladder, to move up in the
35:23
politics, politics or whatever they want to call it. It's all about a
35:28
dollar to them. But you can't ruin people's lives about a dollar. And
35:31
and that's what I'm trying to get them to understand. So I definitely I
35:36
thank you for your willingness to share. I thank you for your transparency.
35:40
I thank you for being the change that you want to see in this world
35:45
and for being a voice. So thank you. Is there anything else that
35:50
you would like to share before we end this car or tonight. I just
35:55
want to just let everybody know that your artists just know to everybody that it's
36:02
right, circumstantial everything and stuff like that, and the circumstanders when so thank
36:12
everybody wear services come out saying and be a better person they were. That's
36:19
that's pretty much what I'm saying. Just what I well, again, I
36:23

36:30

thank you guys for tuning in tonight. If there's anything that you have heard,
37:06
if you are in the state of Texas, if you have any legal
37:10
no house, you are connected to any organizations that can help. There's many
37:16
more. Just like the Kendrick There's over thirty five individuals that I am working
37:25
with right now in TDCJ have similar stories where they have been wrongfully incarcerated or
37:35
overly incarcerated, where they have changed their indictment, They've changed there whatever it
37:40
is, but you can see the holes. You can see how they flip
37:45
flop the laws to do whatever they want to do. It is not fair
37:51
and it needs to be something done about it. So again, if you're
37:54
out there, you're connected to any organizations, anything that can help these individuals.
38:01
