INTRODUCTIOJ!

ARTICLE 40.001 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Provides that a "new trial'• shall be granted an Accused where material evidence Favorable to the Accused has been discovered since trial. Under this statute a defendant is entitled to a new trial if the newly discovered evidence was unknown to his at the time of trial; his failure to discover the new evidence was not merely cumulative; corroborative; collateral or impeaching; the new evidence is probably true and will probably bring about a different result in a new trial SEE: Keeter V.

SEE NEW TRIAL ART 40.001. There are four requirements for abtainin8 new trial on newly discovered evldenc~::. . ;Ev;i~d!=hoe: ·,was;.;UJ.l;"b;T;lown to movant- defendant at time of trial; fa].lure to discover evidence 'tiTSS not due to movsnts want of dilig~nee; evidence is admissible and not merely cumulative, collateral or impeaching; [and evidence is probably true and t~~1ll probably bring about different t'esult on another trial].

v. 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. In which despite Appli~ant's counsel's Brady Motion. Joe JamflS Salfyer, counsel in trial denied .t.:.:;~;;.--.,5 ...... ~· ·• · .., Applicant's a fair trial within the meaning of Sixth, Fourteeth Amendment to the Constitution of the United ta~tes, refused to raise valiable .:7.~:~·~· :: •..

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

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~. (Salome Sanchez, was given an acquittal for his wife's credible inculpatory testimony]. The fact of this benefit would have greatly impeached the l-dfe' s credibili t.y. There !! evidance that 0 .A, Heriberto Silva·~~:·? gave wi tnes a non-credible story about ho\J Yolanda ::--:.;,:-1.: .• Sanchez, should testify beforf!l! the jury to accuse Applicant. 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 \<Jould not have made the statment unless she believed it to be true ... Another provision of the same Rule ma.kes admissi.ble " a statement not specifically covered by any of the foregoing exceptions but havin~ 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). The statement here falls to pass the test of ••having equivalent guarantees of trustwor- thiness1~ An Example of this wrongfulness doing is set fort~ in Exhibit "E" attached hereto and fully incorporated herein as it sat out fully at length.

Applicant 4 a appell3,ot counsel did not ra.is such evidance in truth of the assertions contained in the fa.ct, and thus an affidavit of '•'li tt1eas did exists and was admissible during trial. It's in Exhibit "E•. Joe James Sawyer counsel in trial denied Applicant's a fair trial within the meaning of Fifth.,Sixtb.,and Fourteeth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Applicant's wife end his two sisters, Norma D. Garza, Maricruz D.

Cantu, reveal counsel of trial the. pleans of "pe·rjury prosecutor .. was using against Ismael Diaz,Jr.~A ;r fact from the prosecutor Heriberto Silva'~, approched (Yolanda Qill, maricruz Cantu, and Norma Garza, offering :\:,·~· ~.: ·-:·~·:.::.: -_· Applicant's wife, the promise of leniency]. "Yolanda i will give your husband the promise of leniency, if you \~ill get up on the jury stand and testify befor the jury what i tell you to say. in exchange for the convict!!. ion of !!Kekou and his brother HUbaldon. Prosecutor, Heriberto Silva., o.A.t confused Applicant's wife with co-defendant's wife who.is also name, Yolanda.

Prosecuter' s plean 's kept dening Applicant's a fair trial'"+. Under FRAUD SEE Ar:t icle 38 .lO(a.), Code of Criminal Procedure. 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. Applicant • s cotmsel in refuse to raise such evidance were available during trial. Applicant's all Constitutions to the United States were Violat~d. The plead bargain benefit to the co-defendant,Salome Sanchez, (deprived Applic.ant•s a fair trial]. An example of this wrongfulness is set forth in Exhibit uEu attached hereto and fully incorporated herein as if set out fully at length.

I~ SWORN, AF:FIDAVIT After the arrest of and prior to·the conviction of my husband, Ismael Diaz, Jr., also known as '· "KEKO", I· Yolanda Diaz, was. in the ·Courthouse with my two (2) sister -in- Laws, Maricrus Cantu. and ' Norma Garza, when I . / was approached by th~ . . .

D1str1ct Attorney of ·~...

Starr County, Texas, namely, Heriberto Silva, who requested that,, we come into his office. 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•.

I make this sworn affi.davit freely and I am of.sound mind ani:L do attest that the contents . is true.

Movant moves this Honorable. Court for i(oral9 InCamera inspection to determine whether the District Attorney's file £source• in the Case THE · STATE OF TEXAS VS. ISMAEL DIAZ,JR., contains Brady Material. Movant refers this Honorable Court to UNITED STATES V.

In so stating Movant makes a plausible showing this Motion for New Trial Based On Newly Discovered Evidence [Exhibit "A" to "G"] thus meeting the· requirement to be granted an InCamera Inspection by the 229th Judicial District Court., Starr Couty,Texas.

Movant moves to have the Honorable 229th Judicial District Court to ,·: .. : ORDER Movant Benched Warranted before it for an ORAL InCamera Ins~E?ction.

The Defendant .Mr.Heriberto Silva's dose not have a right under ~tate Constitution's due Course of law provision to enforce plea bargain which has been withdrawn prior to set time for expirat- ion of the offer as due Course of law Clause of State Constitution has been equated and deemed synonymous with. the guarante of. due process under the '~!·

Applicant's asserts that the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment,to the United States Constitution prohibit the execution of a person who is innocent of the crime for which he was convicted. This proposition has an elemental appeal, as would the similiar proposition that Constitution Prohibits the imprisoment of one who is innocent of the crime for which he was convicted after all, the central purpose of any system of criminal justice is to convict the guilty and~ the innocent, under Art 40.001.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CONSTITUTION RIGHT'S, were violated by Mr.D.A., and or law enforcement's violating U.S.C.A. Const.Amend. 5th,6th,8th, and 14th. "That by such clear 'ewly Discovered Evidence and once were Available no juror l<Tould have convicted Applicatl.t • a in light in such. ...,.
