MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF THE

APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF DOUBLE JEOPARDY

MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT

OF THE APPLICATION FOR

GROUND l: DOUBLE JEOPARDY

THE ARGUMENT

In Bench trials, Jeopardy attaches when both sides announce ready and the defendant pleads to the indictment.

The Double Jeopardy Cause"QQ§§" prevent retrial under the following circumstances;

l. A conviction of a lesser included offense"PREVENTS/(to keep from occuring.)“,the PROSECUTION,(to conduct legal proceedings against-)"of a higher level offense. The reverse is also true. Example; Prior Conviction of the main offense prohibits the prosecution of a lesser included offense.See Exparte Jefferson/

681 S.W.Zd 33 (Tex Crim App 1984).

In the 2nd Judicial District Court of Cherokee County,Texas/on July l-ZOlO,Judge Dwight L.Phifer in case #17661 Convicted Applicant in the Plea Bargain of a lesser included offense of Indecency with a child. Exhibit (A).

Also in the 2nd Judicial District Court of Cherokee County, Texas, on July 1-2010 Dwight L.Phifer in case #17661 Convicted Applicant of a higher level offense of Aggrivated Sexual Assault of Child. Exhibit (B).

Double Jeopardy objections are not waived simply because the issue was not raised earlier on appropriate occassions.Objections can be raised at any time.A guilty plea does not bar relief from Double

Jeopardy Violations.Exparte Fortune,797 S.W.Zd 929(TexCrimApp 1990).

The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibits a person from being subject to Two Trials,( the HEARING and DECIDING

OF A CASE IN A Court of Law.),for the same offense.

In the 2nd Judicial District Court of Cherokee County,Texas/

on November 23-20110, Judge Dwight L. Phifer Granted a Nunc Pro

Tunc Convicting Applicant of Indecency with a child.Exhibit (C).

By the Court using the Nunc Pro Tunc,(a proceeding in a

criminal case), after the courts Arrest of Judgment,Exhibit (D),

put Applicant in Jeopardy of Two Trials. Because the Applicants Arrest of Judgment in Plea Bargain. Then by Order Granting Nunc Pro Tunc(a proceeding in a criminal case) the Court HEARD and DECIDED,(TRIAL), to Grant the Nunc Pro Tunc. Subjecting Applicant to a second Trial; Convicting Applicant of Indecency with a child.

The same offense of Conviction in Plea Bergain. § S.UM:MIA:R;§@/~

Byvthe Court Convicting Applicant in Plea Bargain of Indecency with a child,(a lesser included offense) and then a Conviction of Aggrivate Sexual Assault of a Child,(a higher level offense), and the Court Granting the Nunc Pro Tunc after the Courts Arrest of Judgment of Plea Bargain did put Applicant in a second Trial/ (HEARING and DECIDING of a Case in a Court of Law). The Facts in above application will show that the Applicant was put in

Double Jeopardy, not once but twice!
