Court: Texas Supreme Court; December 21, 2015; Texas; State Supreme Court
Original Court Document: View Document
Rodney Young Anderson requests the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to reconsider its denial of his Writ of Habeas Corpus, issued on December 9, 2015. The applicant's counsel argues that the court may not have had access to the full Reporter’s Record from the evidentiary hearings held on May 27 and August 21, 2015, prior to making its decision. Key points include: 1. The court denied the writ without a written order based on trial court findings. 2. Supplemental clerk’s records were filed on September 22 and October 19, 2015, but the docket does not reflect a reporter's record being filed. 3. Counsel confirmed with the Clerk’s Office that the October 19 filing included an eight-volume Reporter’s Record totaling 415 pages. 4. The transcript of the evidentiary hearing alone is 402 pages, excluding exhibits, which were substantial and not fully accounted for. 5. Due to discrepancies in the documentation, the applicant's counsel questions whether the court had the complete record available when it rendered its decision. The applicant seeks the court's reconsideration, allowing counsel to file objections to the trial court’s findings and ensuring the completeness of the record before the court. The request is submitted by counsel Cynthia E. Orr and Christopher M. Griffith, who certifies service to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office.
