Chelina Hall: Is this from his trial lawyer?
Attorney Gerald Litman: Went into a twelve-step program. Had to apologize to those he’d let down.
Chelina Hall: Has Zeke seen this?
Attorney Gerald Litman: We sent him a copy. Zeke doesn’t write back.
Chelina Hall: Right.
Alan walked into the offices of the Texas innocence project fifteen minutes after he’d left his meeting with his client, and looked disturbed. He was still trying to accept that someone can be so willing to die for a crime he, himself wasn’t sure he committed. Alan spotted Chelina sitting at a cramped desk in the corner, reading over a stack of paper.
He spoke quietly, “I met Zeke---I wasn’t prepared for any of that.”
“That he won’t recant?”
Alan nodded.
“He might not have to…we got something from his trial lawyer.” She handed him the paper she was reading.
He started reading, “A note from his lawyer, apologizing. He was abusing cocaine and alcohol during the trial.” Alan turned the page, “He admits he provided inadequate representation.”
It was Chelina’s turn to nod. “This plus the DNA might be enough.”
“Even in Texas?”
“Maybe.”
Alan sighed. Any other state in the union and all of this would have been enough to get another trial. “Maybe”, that was the closest he can get in Texas. Hopefully, the District Attorney will agree with him, then hopefully the appeals court will feel the same.
Alan sat with Chelina, catching up on the details of the case. At about 11: 45 his stomach growled. “When’s the meeting with the DA?”
“1:15”
“Lunch?”
Chelina looked at the pile of paperwork on her desk, “A short one….I know a place.”
