Court of Criminal Appeals must necessarily l-1eight axeulpa.tory evid.enee against evidance of guilt abused at trial when evaluating Art 40.001 claim, that newly discovered or available evidence proves Defeniant•a to be innocent of the c.rir!le for which he was eonvietsd, as Court • s 'fask in ·.:;; :.~. evalu_~ting ouch claim is to assess probable impact of newly available upon pe~suasiveness on state's cause as whole.

This witness, the only witness, Yolanda Sanchez, testified against Applicant and sought to blame the Applicant for the killing. Counsel in trial asked 'her directlyt she denied her testimony·would benefit her husband, Salome Sanchez, a co-defendant in the cause. In fact on such information and belief, of th~ leniency, for exchange her inculpatory 4 IV leniency's for the conviction of "Keko", Salome Sanchez, did not received a fiften years plea bargain sentence to murder as the direct result of his wife's inculeatory testimon~.

Nr.Heriberto Silva, D.A. in this cause and Applicant's counsel in trial denied Applicant a fair trial within the meaning of the 6th Amendment of the Constitution of the United St.ntes. The Rule provides that ce·rtain statements are not excluded by the hearsay rule \vhen the declarant is unavailable. The first of those provisions relied on by the Government is Fed.R.Evid~ 804(b)(3), which codifies the "statement against interest'':~~exeption to the hearsay rule. It makes admissible u[a] statement which was st the time of its making so far contrary to the declarant's pecuniary or proprietary intrest, or so far tended to subject him to civil or criminal liability, or to render invalid a claim by him against another, that a reasonable woman in her position \ equivalent circumstantial guarantees ~f trustworthiness, if the court makes certain determinations regarding rnatariality, probative value, need for the evidence, and the interests of justice. Fed.R.Evid. 804(b)(S).

Joe James Sawyer, failure by an accused to call the accused's spouse as a witness, where othere evidence indicates that the spouse and two sisters of Applicat's could testify to relevant matters, is a proper subject of comment by counsel Art 38.10(b)(2) and Amendment VI.

Once we had entered his office, he said, "I will give your husband the promise of lenienct, if you will get up on the·jury stand and testify before the jury what I tell you to say, in exchange for the conviction of Keko and his brother. Ubalde." I told him that I could not do that because Keko is my husband. He thought that I was Salome's wife who is also named, Yolanda. Salome is allegedly a co-defendant of my husband Keko•.
