Graham's conviction was based on the flawed testimony of a single witness that was alleged to have picked Graham out of a lineup following an extremely suggestive identification procedure. Additionally, the police firearms examiner determined that Graham's weapon could not have fired the fatal bullet that killed Lambert.<br /><br /> <br />During the Chuck Rosenthaul, then-district attorney's administration, in the case of State v. Haynes, Cause No. 7783872, Anthony Craig Haynes, 20, an African-American and military veteran, who now sits on death row, on May 25, 1998 was charged with capital murder in the shooting of Kent Kincaid, an Anglo Saxon, in civilian clothing, was unknown to Haynes was a Houston peace officer, who during a roadside encounter at night, in which he Kincaid, threaten Haynes by approaching and reaching for an unknown object. During the encounter, Haynes, feared for his life, shooting the suspect, who later died. After his arrest, Haynes was informed that the unknown person was a peace officer for the city of Houston. Haynes was prosecuted and received a death sentence to be administered by lethal injection. Jim Wallace, then-judge, awarded the punishment of death by lethal injection.<br /><br />In the matter of State v Haynes, nether district attorney Chuck Rosenthaul nor Judge Jim Wallace were eligible for the public office they then held.<br /><br />Alternatively, prior to the above cited matter, which is still ongoing during the Holmes administration, in State v Prewett, Case No. 474726, Steven Edward Prewett, 19, on June 26,1987, was indicted by a Harris County Grand Jury of Involuntary Manslaughter, in the shooting death of Melvin Kukendall, an African-American, certified peace officer, employed for nearly ten years by Texas Southern University, a state institution of higher learning, who was along time friend of this writer. Prewett was not charged with the murder of a peace officer, in fact, no reference was made to Kukendall's peace officer status, and he Prewett, received a reduced bail of $20.000.<br /><br />Prewett, an Anglo Saxon, on June 7, 1987, was allowed to plead to a six-year term in TDC, on an agreed charge of Involuntary Manslaughter in the killing of peace officer Melvin Kukendall. The difference in the cases of Kuykendall and Kincaid were that Kuykendall offered no treat to Prewett. Both he and Prewett were in different vehicles, traveling on a major North Freeway with over 90 feet separating the two vehicles.<br /><br />In violation of the 14th Amendment, Racism in the judicial system is alive and well.Gunny Thompsonnoreply@blogger.com
