Tennessee Colony, 'l`cxas 75681 Dear Mr.- Morris:

t Thank you'for your iett`er. I understand that you want to blame your lawyer. ' Most convicted inmates want to blame their lawyer. Most do not accept any responsibility for their situation 1 prefemng to say that their lawyer “did not do anything”.

In order to prevail in an “ineffective assistance of counsel” appeal,'we have to be able to prove that you would have been acquitted except for the performance of your lawyer. That is an ' almost impossible standard to prove. »

I have not read the record yet because it is not yet available. But l ca11 tell you that if there

' was ANY evidence that you had either drug§ or alcohol 1n your system, that alone 1s enough to defeat an ineffective assistance of counsel claim.- IF there were any drugs or alcohol 1n your system', that fact alone.' 1s enough to defeat a claim that the lawyer ls what got you convicted. Because drugs or alcohol 1n your system is your proble__r_n and cannot b`e blamed on your lawyer’ s performance

Please write to me and tell me whether there wereany drugs or alcohol in your system. I seem to recall that there was cocaine found" 1n your system. Is that right or am lthinking of another person.

Thank you again for your letter Please write again and answer the question about drugs or alcohol that may or may not have been part of the evidence against you-. We can always complain that the evidence against you was not strong enough. But complaining about your court-appointed l lawyer may make you feel better b`y blaming him or her but it is almost NEVER a good appeal tactic.

Re: your situation Dear Mr. Morris:

I did your Appellant’ s brief. You know that because I filed it and sent you a copy. I also sent you a copy of the State’ s brief. Next, the Court of Appeals will render an opinion. When they do that, I will send you a copy of 1t. v ~

guit writing to me and to the Cour_ts. You are Wasting your time. You do not understand `the appeal process even though I have tried to explain it to you. YOU ONLY GET TO PUT ON EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY IF YOU GET A NEW TRlAL. PERIOD !!!!!! I cannot be more simple than that, You want to put on evidence but an appeal 1s not about NEW evidence. It 1s about what happened at your trial.

When the Court of Appeals rules, I will send you a copy of that opinion.

Sincerely,

'chard W.\l{e . ` 1

Re: Opinion in your case Dear Mr. Monis:

Enclosed is another copy of the opinion in your case.- Your case was affirmed meaning you lost. That means that you now have the right to 'f11e a Petition for Discretionary Review (PDR) in the Court of Appeals in Austin, Texas. You have a limited time to file your Petition so I_ suggest that if you are going to try to continue to appeal, you file your PDR quickly. You only have 30 days to file your PDR. You do not have the right for court appointed counsel so you can hire an attomey, seek the assistance of a writ writer inmate or do it yourself.

The PDR is still not'about “new evidence”. It is about what happened at your trial. So to pursue what you are trying to get into.. .new evidence, you Will have to do a post conviction Writ. You not have the right for court appointed counsel 111 a post conviction writ either, so you can hire

` an attorney, seek the assistance of a _wr1`t writer inmate or do it yourself.

_ I have told you all of th1s before. And you also know that I am no longer 111 private practice. I work for the State now, so I can no longer assist you or represent you. 1

Senior investigator . v ` , Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel State `Bar of Texas_ ' v 5400 LBJ Freev\\/ay Suite 1280

Dallas, Texas 75240

Re: l Chester Ray Morris D 0100835884

-~~~Dear"Ms.' B'artlett:' '

In response to Mr. Morris’ complaint, l can tell you the following. I was appointed to represent Mr. Morris on an appeal of his conviction and 15 year sentence for lntoxication Manslaughter from the 241st District Court of Smith~County, Texas. The appeal cause number is 12- 407-00331-CR styled Chester Ray Morris v. State of f_'Texas. His conviction and sentence was affirmed. l have enclosed a copy of the 12th Court of Appeals opinion in the matter.

Contrary to his allegation there is no conflict 1 completed my brief on his behalf and filed it February 19, 2008. At the time I prepared and filed his brief, I did not work for the State and only

began to prosecute long after I filed his appeal brief. I no longer represent him and there is no :

conflict _' `. .\ v

When l'fi-rst met ‘Mr.~'l\‘/I'orris, he was adamant that he'had “evidence” that proved he was not guilty. I never saw any pictures he claimed supported him. But even there were such photos, they would not be useful in an appeal. In spite of re__peated verbal and written attempts to convince him that a direct appeal does not permit the introduction of evidence not admitted at trial, he still remains convinced that his “evidence” refutes the State’s case. l did not try his case in the 241St District Court. He Was represented by another appointed attorney. I'believe`that" his trial lawyer was Mr. Clifton Roberson. ' » . ~

I do not now have nor have'l ever had the photographs he claims that~I have. If there Were such photographs, his trial lawyer would have had them. Any photographs he're`f_`ers to as part of his “discovery” materials"Were never in my possession Appeal lawyers do not get discovery. They get a transcript Discovery materials are provided to the trial lawyer.' An appeal lawyer can only

1 appeal on points raised during the trial'. A direct appeal is not a forum for the establishment of a defense. Rather, adirect»» p cantonly»`@beeabouterrorthatocci“irr”é`d`attrial I attempted to appeal those points that l felt were raised 'by the law and the evidence l\/l_r. Morris never understood that though l tried to explain it to him many, many times. ~ ' ` - -

I respectfully'direct your office to the copy of the letter l sent him dated -.S'eptemberil>`é-,? 3200`8;/

in which I sent to him “another” copy of the opinion in his case. That letter is contained in his complaint l had sent him the first copy at some time before September 16, though I cannot now say When l did that,

l1left»,»theepri_vate‘€p`ractiee=fiofetlawe*to“'tal§ej"aijo'b"ias=~t~'hef'-fifrlst'é`a'ssistant-tdistr~i‘ct'~"attoni`ey§if“r`i?.‘fl%“usk County*’(Henderson)T as:gwf_‘feetigealunéel§e£®©£§~; I'conip`lete`d` lmy obligations to my appointed clients but l di"df,not'ever give him any address because my office in Tyler (924 W. Houston) was closed and it was inappropriate to give the DA’s office in Henderson as my address. That left me with only my home address in Tyler, l chose not to disclose that address to convicted felons who might harbor some sort of grudge against me. Additionally, my Wife takes the 114th District Court

bench on January l, 2009.. That is another'good reason not give out my (and her) home address.

The evidence against Mr. Morris was overwhelming The testimony of` the veteran trooper (Godwin) as to his»~investigation of -theewrecl_<`_appear_e_dv te _be bel_i_e\_{abl,e»;to_.the_jur-y. .Mr..Morris~.had-- v

' M'a'blo‘o`d alcohol level of gréatéfthan `.l 7»“ni_eaning that he was intoxicated to twice the legal limit of intoxication His passenger died as the result of a tragic car wreck in which Mr. Morris was the driver of the car in which his friend was a passenger.

l believe that I completed my obligations to Mr. Morris. It is true that now, as an Assistant

DA, l can no longer assist him since he is adverse to the State. But if I had his property, I would give ` it to him. Ie: eri’ét§t%i;`j[ `\ith;;eaegeresentigneiitheephetfo;sthei:elaims;thatthe§§'e'ii‘ttin`*e. lthink that his claims are more of his attempts to blame someone else for his situation In all my communications with Mr. Morris, he attempted to blame others for his unfortunate situations This grievance appears more of the same. 1

lt may be that Mr. Morris wants an out of time right to file a PDR. I hope he gets it but there is nothing, in my opinion upon which the Court of Criminal Appeals is likely to take up.

THE STATE OF TEXAS ) 4 ` ARREST WARRANT` AFFIDAY_I_T

coUNTY oF sMrTH )

BEFORE ME,' the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared the

§ undersigned Aft`iant, who after being by me duly sworn on oath deposes and says:

My name is Janles Godwin, and I have good reason to believe and do believe that on or about the 24?h day or september, 2006, in smith councy', Texas, cHEsTER RAY

` MORRIS did then and there commit the offense of: INTOXICATION MANSLAUGHTER, a ) n

second degree felony, in that he did then and there, intentionally or knowingly operate a motor vehiclein a public place while intoxicated.by not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol into the body, or by having an alcohol ~concentrati_on*of~at least 0.08, and did by"reason of such intoxication cause the death of ‘an'oth'er‘,

namely, Sidney Roger `K_izzie', by accident or mistake, to wit: by` driving said motor vehicle`

occupied by Sidney Roger Kizzie,| into another motor vehicle. b Against the Peace and Dignity of the State: My belief of the above is based on the following facts and information: 4

4 Affiant is J_ames _Godwin, a State Trooper for the Texas Department of Pub_lic Safety (“the`Department”), 4700 University BIvd. in Tyler, Texas. Affiant is a licensed peaceof-ficer in md for the State of Texas and has been' such for the last 12 years. Aff` -`t`is currently assigned to the Highway b Patrol division. ` 'Afflant is responsible for the.%f‘;xrlcement of the Teias Transportation Code and all other Texas Codes requiring criminal*'enforcement. Aff`iant has also successfully completed training in Advanced Accident Reconstruction - Level I and II. '

As part of Affiant’s authority and"jurisdiction, Affiant responds to and investigates motor vehicle accidents in the State of Texas. Afflant has performed hundreds of such investigations On September 24, 2006, while on routine patrol, Afflant, along with Trooper Paul Shofner was dispatched at approximately 1:00 a.m.' to a motor vehicle accident on State Highway 31 East, approximately 13.1 miles east of Tyler, Texas, at around mile post 716 in Smith County, Texas.

, P_rior to arriving at the scene; AffBut/received information that one of the passengers in this motor vehicle accident was deceased Aff`lant/arrived at the scene of the accident and

observed that there were two vehicles'involved in the accident. One vehicle was a purple 1994 _

Ford Ranger pickup bearing TX LP# 91_='Z-T99, driven by Chester Ray MORRIS and occupied by

one passenger, later identified as" Sidney Roger KIZZIE, and a red 1999 GMC Sierra pickup,*

Based on this evidence, Affiant was able to determine the. point of impact. Considering all of the evidence in light of statements made by both MORRIS and CAMPBELL, itl is Affrant’s opinion that MORRIS was driving in the wrong lane, and that as_MORRIS-’¢ vehicle was about to strike`.'CAMPBELL’S‘ vehicle; both "'diivers`f"swéi`*»v`ed

l Sidney`Roger KIZZIE was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Quincy Beavers at 2:42 a.m. '

_ Affiant received the results from the Texas Department‘of Public Safety inl laboratory case number L1T-130604 showing that an analysis of MORRIS’ blood contained 0.17 grams of

alcohol per 100 milliliters.

Afflant therefore has probable cause to believe that CHESTER RAY MORRIS intentionally or knowingly operated a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated by not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol into the body, or by having an alcohol concentration of at least 0.08, and did by reason of such intoxication cause the death of another, namely, Sidney Roger KIZZIE, by accident or mistake, to wit: by driving said motor vehicle occupied by Sidney Roger KIZZIE, into another motor vehicle ' -

_ WHEREFORE, I request that an arrest warrant be issued for the suspect hereinbefore designated according to the laws of this State.
