Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-67,803-01 EX PARTE KAYLA MOODY HARRIS, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

FROM YOUNG COUNTY

Meyers, J., filed a statement dissenting to the denial of the application for writ of habeas corpus.

STATEMENT

I feel that there is enough information in Applicant's co-defendant's affidavit for us to at least file and set this case to make a determination regarding whether to grant a new trial on factual innocence. There is a possibility that the Applicant in this case is innocent and she is faced with the problem that although she may have received adequate representation at her trial, the reality is that she may not have committed a crime and she wants now to bring forth additional evidence to support her claim. I would file and set this case to determine whether there are facts that would indicate her innocence and warrant a new trial.

Meyers, J.
