EX PARTE § IN THE 180m DISTRICT COURT

§ OF JOSEPH BARNARD HINES, Applicant § HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS

STATE'S ORIGINAL ANSWER

The State of Texas, through its Assistant District Attorney for Harris County,

files this, its original answer in the above-captioned cause, having been served with

an application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to TEX. CRIM. PROC. CODE ANN. art.

11.07 § 3 (West 2013), and would show the following:

I. The applicant is confmed. pursuant to the judgment and sentence of the I 80th

District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause number 776435 (the primary case),

where on November 1, 1999, the applicant was convicted pursuant to a plea of guilty

for the felony offense of aggravated robbery. The court, in agreement with the plea

agreement, assessed punishment at fifteen (15) years confmement in the Texas

·Department of Criminal Justice- Institutional Division (TCDJ-ID).

The Fourteenth Court of Appeals dismissed the applicant's appeal in the

primary case on January 4, 2001 for lack of jurisdiction. Hines v. State, No. 14-00-

01014-CR, 2001 WL 8322 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.], no pet.)(mem. op., not

designated for publication). The applicant's initial application for writ of habeas corpus, cause number

776435-A, was denied on August 25, 2004. Ex Parte Hines, WR-55,762-02 (Tex.

Crim. App. 2004).

II.

The State denies the factual allegations made in the instant application, except

those supported by official court records, and offers the following additional reply:

REPLY TO APPLICANT'S SOLE GROUND FOR RELIEF

In the applicant's sole ground for relief the applicant alleges that the juvenile

court abused its discretion by transferring the applicant to the state criminal court.

Applicant's Writ at 6.

However, if a subsequent writ application is filed after fmal disposition of an

initial application challenging the same conviction, the Court may not consider the

merits of or grant relief based on a subsequent application unless the application

contains sufficient specific facts establishing that:

(1) the current claims have not been and could not have been presented previously in an original or in a previously considered application because the factual or legal basis for the claim was unavailable on the date the applicant filed the previous application; or (2) by a preponderance of the evidence, but for a violation of the United States· Constitution no rational juror could have found the applicant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

TEX. CRIM. PROC. CODE ANN. art. 11.07 § 4 (a) (West 2013).

The instant writ application was filed after the final disposition of the

2 applicant's initial writ application, cause number 776435-A, which challenged the

same conviction and was denied on August 25, 2004. In this application, the

applicant has failed to include sufficient specific facts establishing that the current

claims could not have been presented previously because the factual or legal basis

for the claim was unavailable; or that, by a preponderance of the evidence, no

rational juror could have found the applicant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 § 4 (a) (West 2013). Therefore, the Court

may not consider the merits of or grant relief based on the instant writ of habeas

corpus.

m. The applicant raises questions of law and fact that can be resolved by the

. Court of Criminal Appeals upon review of official court records and without need

for an evidentiary hearing.

§ OF JOSEPH BARNARD HINES, Applicant § HARRIS COUNTY, TE)\AS

STATE'S PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, AND ORDER

The Court has considered the application for writ of habeas corpus, the State's

answer and official court records in the above-captioned cause. The Court finds that

there are no controverted, previously unresolved facts material to the legality of the

applicant's confmement which require an evidentiary hearing and recommends that

the instant writ, cause number 776435-B, be dismissed because the applicant has

failed to include sufficit:mt specific facts establishing that the current claims could

not have been presented previously because the factual or legal basis for the claim

was unavailable; or that, by a preponderance of the evidence, but for a violation of

the United States Constitution, no rational juror could have found the applicant

guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. TEX. CRIM. PROC. CODE ANN. art. 11.07 § 4(a)

(West 2013). THE CLERK IS ORDERED to prepare a transcript and transmit same to the

Court of Criminal Appeals as provided by TEx. CRIM. PROC. CODE ANN. art. 11.07

(West 2013). The transcript shall include certified copies of the following

documents:

1. The application for writ of habeas corpus;

2. The State's answer;

3. The Court's order;

4. The indictment, judgment and sentence, and docket sheets in cause number 776435;

5. The Court's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law; and

6. The State's and Applicant's Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law (ifany).

THE CLERK is further ORDERED to send a copy of this order to the

applicant, Joseph Barn~d Hines, TDCJ # 901768 - Connally Unit, Kenedy, Texas,

SUMMARY OF FA~rs AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

Applicant was sixteen years of age at the tiDe of bls illegal arrest for criminal offenses on 12-17-97 by detective Moore and detective Baker from Eis- hower High School where he aas attending class. The detectives kidnapped App- licant and took him to a loc::al police department in harris county where he was photographed,fipger-printed,and innterrogated for hours then release on side of the road • .J~ weeks later on 1-8-98 the same detectives returned to Eis- hower High SChool and arrested Applicant in his classroom and took him to the same police department where he was photographed, finger-printEid,.and innterro- gated a second tim& for a few hours, then transferred him to the Juvenile De- tention Center-West Dallas,where he was charge. The State filed petitions seeking the waiver of jurisdiction of the 313th ju- venile court.see, EX-A~ IN JUVEBE CASE W.cm:m55J(. A certification hearing was held where the juvenile court granted the States petition and issued a order waiving jurisdiction.see,EX~B[cmR W\fiL\G Jt.rus:liclii::N,W.c.an>755J]. Applicant was transferred to the 180th criminal district court on 2-25-98. see,EX-c[

Applicant now files this second writ of habeas corpus pursuant to artical 11 11.07 § 4(a)(l)(b) & (a)(2). Because the current claimshas not been and could not have been reasonably formulated on the date of the filing of·his original habeas corpus,becauae the legal basis of the claim[~ KR RE:VIEW] was· not re- . i)t(\5- cognized by and could not have been reasonbtly formulated from a FINAL ~. 100 of a COURT OF APPEU.ATE JURISDICTIOO[MXN V.

Alsp,by the preponderance of the evidenae,but for the violation of Applicants due process rights of the United Sta~es Constitution no rational Juror or judge co~ld have found him guilty or accepted his guilty plea where the criminal

district court lacked jurisdiction. V\f\~eJ ~ the plain language of the statute,once an Applicant files an appli- cation challenging the conviction,all subsequent applications reg~ing the same conviction mus.t meet "one" of the ~wo conditions set forth in,Texas Code tnr-:\~~>-"- of ~i1' •MJProcedures 11.07 §4(a)(l) & (2).see,EX PARTE WHITESIDE,l2 s.w." 3d 821. The Texas Court of Criminal ' ' Appeals held,"What is lacking in our statutory scheme-as ~ lacking in Kent-is any express statement of the applicable stand- ard of appellate review of the juvenile court's transfer. order. In the absence of an explicit statutory standard of appellate review,the courts of appeals have £4i~ the void with ~ecisional law spelling out how they will go about providing the "meaningful review" contemplated by KENT.see, MOON v S'rA'l'E, 2014 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1918;see also, MOON v. STATE,410 S.W.3d 366(CEX.APP.-HOUSTON[ls~ Dist]2013.

Justict KELLER, stated, "For almost forty years, the tendency among the courts of appeals has been to hold that a juvenile transfer order need not specify in detail the facts supporting the order. The Court of Appeals in this case broke rank with the weight of tha.t authority, and this court now goes along with the court of appeals unconventional holding. In the instant case, even if Applicant .~d raise thie issue on appeal or in his original writ of habeas corpus it wouid have been fruitless where there was a void in the statutory . scheme process of a applicable standard of review. I

Finally Applicant contends that his second writ of habeas corpus contains a

STANDARD FOR REVIEW:

When reviewing the process of a juvenile court transferring a juvenile to a. c;::riminal court is reviewed by KENT v/ UNITED S'f'ATE,the United s~tes Jz,..r.ae"- Court characteriz.eq the statuto~:y transfer pr~eedings in the District of COL- UMBIA as "critically important",and held' that any statutory mechanism for wai- ving juvenile-court jurisdiction must at least "mea~ure up to the essentials of due process and fair treatment." Among the requisites of a minimaJ.ly fair transfer process is the opportunity for a ·meaningful appellate review.id 16 L. ED 20 84 1 383 US 541,86 S. Ct.l045.

ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITY: - Applicant contends that he is being illegally restrained of his liberty in violation of his 4th & 14th amendment of oue process wher~ the juvenile court abused it's discretion by waiving jurisdiction and did not show it's work by specifically stating in it's written order it's reasons for waiver and the findings of' the court.see,EX-B[ CH:m wvm:; JUUSl!Cr.KN]. ·

'The juvenile court stated in it's order that there is probable cause to bel1 J.ieve that the cUld committed tne offense alleged,but the court showed no 1. ' . .-·......:

finding.see,EX-B(~ WVOO'Jt.IUS:>!Cm:N]. When, in fact,the court~'probable cause 1 was based on illegally obtained, evidence that was obtained duti:ng a unlawful \: arrest, where Applicant was kidnapped by detective Moore and~detective Bake~ from Eishower High SChool where he attended classes on 4 ~~ 12-17-97 and taken to a police department, where he was photographed, finger-printed, and innterrogated for hours then release on side of the road to parent.see,EX-f!E [AFFIIAVIT CF APPLICANI'], see also, EX-F [lVDI'ICl'l '10 St.Jf'i't(f$ ~ 'IE3l.'lMN{] • Applicant was again arrest by the same detectives three weeks later on or _. J~~N~ ' about the 8th day of ~aft01By,1998, from his classroom and taken to the same police department where he was photographed,finger-printed,and innterrogated a second time; Where detectives claim the victims identified him as the person who camnitted the crimes.see,EX-G[JUVENILE REJJ::H:S]. The juvenile report stated that detective Moore was able to obtain a photo- graph of the shorter suspect,which would be Applicant,because a patrol officer suspected him of being involved in criminal activity.see,EX-G[ JUIIENIIE FCEi:ucL:s]. Applicant's photograph was not in the police department system on or about 12-17~97,and the juvenile court did, not have any evidence presented to it of

any probable cause for Applicant's arrest on or about 12-i7-97.to obtain such I .

evidEtnce. so,any finding of probable cause would be void,because at the timee of the arrest on 12-17-97 detectives Moore & Baker had no probable cause to arrest Applicant,where he was not committing a crime at the time of arrest, there was no evidence that he had committed a crime or any reason to make.a prudent man believe that he had committed an offense. The test applicable in determining whether there is probable cause for arrest without a warrant,a paudent man in believing that the arrested person had committed or was committing an offense is set ~ in,BRITTEN v. STATE, 578 s~w. 2d 685,689(TEX. CRIM. APP. 1979)(on rehearing cert. denied,444 u.s. 955,100 S. Ct. 435,62(L ED 2d 328(1979). An inarticulate hunch,suspicion or good faith of the arresting officer is insufficient to constitute probable cause for a arrest,search,or temporary de- tention.see,FATEM v. STA'l'E,558 S.W. 2d 463,466.

When investigative detention is based on nothing more than inarticulate hiJilch, the fruits of the detention and subsequent search are inadmissible in evidence. see,TUNNELL v. STATE,554 S.W •. 2d 697,698. Obtaining finger print.sevidence violates the fourth and fourteenth amendment, so a8 to make sure evidence inadmissible in a state. cr.l.minal trial; where ( l) the finger-prints were obtained while the accused was detained at police head- quarters without probable cause for his arrest, (2) the detention at police headquarters. of the· accused and other persons of similar description was not authorized by a judicial officer, ( 3) the accused was unnecessarily required to undergo two finger-printing seesions,and (4) the accused was not merely finger \printed during the f~rst of two sessions,but was also subjected to innterro-: ~gation.see,DAVIS. v. MISSISSPI,22 LED 2d 676,394 U.S. 721.

In MAPP v. OHIO, the court held, "All evidence obtained by searches and sei- zures· in violation of the constitution is by that same authority,inadmissible in a state·court." id. 367 u.s. 643,655,6 LED 2d 1081,81 S. Ct. 1684,84 ALR 8 2d 933(.1961). A juv~ile court waiver of jurisdiction begans with a finding of probable cause to believe that the juvenile committed the alleged offense,which is nec- essary for the juvenile court to waive it's exclusive jurisdiction on suffici- :>t.AS- ent facts.and circumstances to warrant a prudent man to believe that the ~ pact had conunitted or was committing an offense. IN THE MAT'.rER OF D.W.L.,828 S.W. 2d 520(1992 TEX. APP. LEXIS 855); GERSTEIN v. POGH,420 U.S. 103,112,43 L. EO. 2d 54,95 s. Ct. 854(1975. Probable cause for an arrest applies this san~ standard.see,SMITH v. STATE,739 S.W. 2d 848,853(TEX.CRIM.APP. 1987); IN THE Ia MATTER OE' N.M.P.,969 S.W. 2d 95(1998 TEX. APP.LEXIS 2355). In the instant case, detective Moore, and Baker ·were without probable cause to arrest applicant on 12-17-97 and obtain evidence without authority of a judi- cial officer as set out in Tex. E'am. Code Ann.:S2.025 (b)(3),and it was a abuse of discretion of the juvenile court to find probable cause(~ waive jurisdiction) that Applicant committed the offense where there was no evidenc~ shown of probable cause to arrest on 12-17-97 to obtain Applicant's photo- graph, finger prints, or to irmterrogate.

The. juvenile courts abuse of discretion continued further where the order 0

waiving jurisdiction did not apecifically.state it's reasons for waiver and certify it's action in a written order and the findings of the court. The juvenile court merely filled out a form certification order containing

"boilerplate" language and did not include specific evidentiary findings to support it's determinations.see,EX-B[S4.02(h) requires· and . shows it's work should rarely be reversed. id.; MOON v.

Fam. COde Ann.§54.02(a). To facilitate this deterrnination,the juvenile court must consider,among other matters,the following factors: 1) \Yhether the all.api affEll'Ba \oB9 cg:Unst p:rs:n or prq;erty, with greter weight in favtr of • t:rcnafer given to offenses ~ the pers:n; 2) t:ne ~ am natl.lrity of the dU.l.d; 3) the :t'9CCtd arrj p:evi.als h:ist:ay of the dli.ld; 4) the-~ of cdqat.e protec:tial of the flblic arrj the l.ike1.itmJ of the Mlabilitatial of t tl'e chUd 1:¥.

If the juvenile court waives jurisdiction,it'..:.; required to "state specif~:­ cally in the order it's reasons for waiver and certify it's action,including 8 the.written order and findings of the court."id.§S4.02(h). In the instant case,which is identical to MOON,the only reason specifically ;, · ...• stated. in the juvenile court's order to justify the \iai ver of jurisdiction was .that :.he Offense alleged Was a SeriOUS one I and the only f~Ct Specified in Sup- . . ~~ ~~

port of this reason was that the offense alleged was committed against a per~ son.sae, EX-B[CHm WAJ:IIlN:i ~] • The COurt held that a waiver of juvenile jurisdiction "based on this partie cular reason,fortified only by this fact,constitutes an abuse of discretion." Additionally,the COUrt determined that other fact findings included in the juvenile court's written order were "superfluous" because,although mose facts findings would have been relevant to support a transfer for the alternative ~ reason that the appellant's background was such as to render waiver of juvenil~ jurisdiction appropriate, the juvenile court did. not c~te the appellant's back- ground as a reason for in transfer in the written order.

ORDER WAIVING JURISDICTION

IN THE MATTER OF JOSEPH BARNARD HINES.

ON THE 24TH day of FEBRUARY, 1998, a hearing was held in the above styled

and numbered cause under Section 54.02 of the Family Code, on the issue of waiver

of jurisdiction. Prior thereto the Court had ordered and obtained a diagnostic

study, social evaluation,a full investigation of the child, his circumstances, and

the circumstances of the alleged offense, counsel, BELINDA PITT was retained more

than ten (10) days prior to the hearing; the counsel for the child was given access

to' all written matter to be considered by the court in making the transfer decision

more than one(1) day prior to the hearing; said child, JOSEPH BARNARD HINES and his

mother, CHERRIE MARSHALL had been served with citation more than two (2) days prior

to the hearing. After full investigation and hearing at which hearing, the said

JOSEPH BARNARD HINES and his mother, CHERRIE MARSHALL were present; the court finds

that the said JOSEPH BARNARD HINES, is charged in violation of penal laws of the

grade of felony, if. committed by an adult, to wit: AGGRAVATED ROBBERY OF HUAN VU,

COMMITTED ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 15, 1997; that there has been no adjudication of

this offense; that he was 14 years of age or older at the time of the commission

of the alleged offense having been born on the~~~~~-~~~~:S;~~N' that there

is probable cause to believe that the child committed the offense alleged and that

because of the seriousness of the offense, the welfare of the community requires

criminal proceedings. In making that determination, the Court has considered among

other matters:

1. Whether the alleged offense was against person or property, with the greater weight in favor of waiver given to offenses against the person;

2. The sophistication and maturity of the child;

Dear Mr. Hines :

After a thorough search of our records, we find that you do not have a Writ of Habeas Corpus filed in the Court of Criminal Appeals at this time. If you have any further questions or concerns, please direct them to the District Clerk in the convicting county where you originally filed the application.

I am herewith returning your documents.
