^3,077-0' wm IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS AUG 0? 2015 WR 83,127-01 Ca.No.lO-CR-2388A EX PARTA § IN THE 28th DISTRI RANDY J.KAIZER § COURT OF NUECES Applicant COUNTY,TEXAS MOTOOINI DEEDED § DATE: <P~fZ-lZ SUGGESTION FOR THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEJfj& ^^ =„=«« TO DENY TRIAL COURTS RECOMMONDATION TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIM.APP.; now comes ,Randy J.Kaizer,Applicant pro se,in the above writ and cause nols The Applicant respectfully ask this Court,to hot consider trial courts recommondation to deny Applicant's state writ of habeas corpus.The Applicant ask this Court to take it's own ini tiative de novo in reviewing Applicant's 11.07.Trial court's Fact Finding and Conclusions does not comply with the Courts instruc- — tions.The Applicant will show that the trial court left unresolve issues and that an evidentiary hearing is needed to satisfy this Courts order.
r. This Court order trial counsel to respond to Applicant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel,(I,A,C).Trial counsel replied with a vague response, answers that left the claim unresol ved. Infact counsel only compels Applicant's claim. (a).In Mr.Garcia's first response,"At no time,throughout the entire scope of representing Mr.Kaizer,was he prevented from tes tifying or instructed by me or co-counsel to "sit down"and "shut up."Applicant asserts that nowhere in his claim did Applicant accused counsel of saying such a remark!This is a fabricated acc usation on counsels part and should not be considered. )b).Counsel claims that several discussings were held about Applicant testifying on his own behalf.Applicant will show two statements by counsel that does not collaborate with his account of what occured;l)in a disscussion about Applicant testifying counsel admits telling Applicant,"that the manner the trial was
(1) preceeding was favorable unto him."By such a statement it would seem as though counsel wanted Applicant to believe the trial was going good for him and there was no need to testify^Atty.Aff.p.' 1-2.,and (b)J. Applicant believes counsel is under the assuption that Applicant was free on bond during his trial.Counsel states, he and Applicant had "a brief conversation in the hallway outside the presence of the jury,the defendant again was asked if he wanted to take the stand to testify." As the record will show,Applicant was incarcerated during tri al and it would of beeni&convenientto ALL parties for counsel to speak with Applicant out of the presence of the jury each time counsel or Applicant wished.In order for this to happen,trial court would of had to excuse the jury,then a sheiff's deputy had to unshackle the Applicant and escort him to the hallway,then repeat this each time.This is unreallistic and unlikely to occur. fAtty. Aff.p. 2.^ (c).Nowhere in the record can counsel support that he asked Applicant if he wished to take the stand to testify.The record • does support that counsel was preparing the jury that Applicant would not testify by invoking his 5th Amendment,during the voir dire.
(d).There was no reason for Applicant not to want speak for himself.Applicant has no acts of moral turpitude that would dis credit his testimony.As Mr.Garcia was aware,the Applicant wanted the jury to know that there was another theory into the alleged offense.Applicant stated to counsel that the alleged offense may have been caused by the victim's father.{k. C. APP, Aff. Exh. 4) Appli cant also express to counsel that if a time line was developed, the victim's allegation would not collaborate with the time that the victim alleges events occured.The victims,victim's mother (Maria Medrano),and Applicant's schedules did not present the opporutunity for the alleged offese to have occured.(H.C. Gr. 13-14^ Counsel did not respond to this portion of Applicant's claim, these facts not presented during trial would have supported the Applicant,s innocent claim.Yet,counsel failed to aknowledge these claims as he does again in his affidavit.
(2) (e).Trial counsel stated co-counsel,Lisa Greenberg,also never heard any statements concerning lead counsel telling Appli^: cant to "shut up and sit down"or"Applicant stating during his time to testify,"Ready when you are".As trial counsel knows,this is hearsay on his part.If counsel wanted to use co-counsel to collaborate his statement,Mr.Garcia should of requested for Ms. Greenberg to make her own affidavit. (f).Applicant is adamant that he wished to testify on his own behalf.Counsel's only defense strategy was to show that the vic tim was lying.A time line would of helped in this defense and yet it is not presented.Applicant was willing to testify to show the jury by evidence of work,school,and other evidence of scedul- ing ,that there was no means of opporutunity to have commited the alleged of fense. Therefore, counsel was ineffective for not allow-.! ing Applicant to testify in his own defense,h.C.Gr.14 Exh's.
II. "i Mr.Garcia state's that one of his staff initiated a visit with Applicant.Applicant does not claim that he did not get any visits from counsels staff,Applicant's claim that counsel himself only visit 4 times through out his representation.One visit that counsel referes to,is counsel's mother.At the time it was unclaer to the nature of the visit and left Applicant more confused than confident.A visit from any counsel's mother would of left anyone baffled and question his counsel's ability to represent him/her.
The Applicant claim is that counsel was not diligent in his communication.Applicant presented counsel with alibis,that when counsel visit^Applicant question counsel on his progress of the investigation to which counsel would reply with a vague answer.
The record supports Applicant's sufficient claim that counsel did not investigate any of Applicant's alibi's.No questions towards John Medrano's involvment in the alleged offense in any kind were conducted.Nor does counsel state that he informed the State of Applicant's statement or any law enforcement as so they could conduct their own investigation {h.C.Gr.13-14)Nor is there a time line presented in any of the record.
(3) Ill Trial counsel's statement that Applicant's claim that counsel was ineffective for advising Applicant to chose the trial court for sentencing is also not in any of Applicant's claims and should not be considered by the Court.
IV Applicant stands firmly that trial counsel failed to conduct his own investigation.Counsel's affidavit supports this claim.As stated above,no questions of any sort towards Mr.Medrano con cerning the victim and his relationship,other than,the father and daughter.Counsel never states if he informed the State or law enforcement of what Applicant told'counsel about Mr.Medrano.
Applicant told trial counsel a time line would benefit the defense.The time the victim stated the alleged offense had occur, would not collaborate with schedules of the victim,victim's moth er (Maria Medrano),or the Appl icant I During the middle of trial,"..
ten counts of the indictment were dismissed by the State due to insufficient evidence through testimony of the victim^St.Supp.An.
Exh.F.)Applicant assured counsel that a time line would of bene-' fited before trial had started.Nowhere in the record does it show counsel developed a time 1ine.Applicant presented this claim in his 11 .07. (H.C.Gr. 13-14. )also see (Exh .A. )Applicant gave'.a list of employers to help create a time to establish an alibi.
Counsel's affidavit collaborates with applicant's claim of no independent investigation outside of what the State furnished.
Counsel relied on what the State investigated(Atty,Aff.p.2-3).
V Trial counsel states that he maintained communication with Applicant through phone calls initiated from jail by Applicant.
Mr.Garcia further states,through these phone calls and conversa-i tions with Applicant's mother,A defense was prepared.(Atty.Aff,p. 2).It is well known.,phone calls coming from inmates in jailed facilities are monitored and recorded.According to counsel's affidavit,in preparing Applicant's defense,the confidentially betwwen client-attorney,may have been violated.
(94) VI Counsel states that he contacted Applicant's daughter to tes tify at the punishment phase.Applicant presented a list of a few other witnesses that would of testify on Applicant's behalf.Coun sel did not take into consideration that Applicant's daughter may have been distrait from the decision of guilt of her father?Coun- sel's choice in witnesses was not one of strategic measures.lt is one of a easier choice.It is well known one's family,in most instances,will give a positive oppion concerning a family.The best practice,would to be to use someone outside the family.For instance ,an ex-wife would of been a neutral character witness.
Applicant informed counsel that his ex-wife was willing to test-' ify(H.C.APP.AFF^.Applicant is a Honorable discharged,decorated wartime vet of the U.S.Navy^see exh Ba Counsel felt it was in Applicant's favor only to call one character witness,Applicant's son to testify as to character of theApplicant.
Applicant,in his claim for character witnesses,admits he is in error.The witnesses Applicant was refering to are witnesses to his innocences.Why were there not more witnesses to account for Applicant'a alibi, such as his former employers or former wifeti who wase willing to testify.This is due to counsel lack of inves tigation .
VII In preparing for Applicant's habeas corpus,Applicant reques ted trial counsel's work product.With the help of the,Client- Attorney Assistance program (CAAP) ,Applicant was able in obtain^- \ ing some of counsel's work product/h.C. exh.l^By viewing counsel's notes,it seems that an investigation on behalf of Applicant was at a minimum.According to notes taken by counsel's mother,during a six month period,counsel visited Applicant only one time^H.C. exh.2.jalso see exh.C.)
VIII Applicant submitted to the habeas court a proposed,"Contro- vered Previously Unresolved Facts,Interrogatory Questions to
(5) ... Attorney, Luis Garcia" .These questions were to assist in develo ping facts to determine counsel's effectiveness.Counsel failed to answer any of the questions.The State did not propose any questi ons to assist to develope an adequate record for this court.Coun sel 's responses were unconclusive.The only facts presented to the Court are;l) through counsel's mother and an assistant,counsel maintained communication with Applicant,with the benefit of four visits from counsel himself;2)Through the use of a jailhouse pho ne and Applicant's mother,a defense was prepared,and by using the jailhouse phone,client-attorney confidentially may have been vio lated; 3 )There was no investigation into John Medrano or the App-• licant's alibi of a time line to show the jury that there was no means of opporutunity to have committed the alleged offense;and4) Counsel did not consider other witnesses that would of benefitted the Applicant.,(see exh.D.)
IX In the'State's Supplemental Answer',State is claiming that the Applicant's claim is contrary to what he wrote in his application.
The State is attempting to discredit Applicant by it's misconst rued accusation by stating 'Applicant admitted in his application that he elected not to testify in his behalf. "|st. Supp. p. 4/The State is refering to ground seven.The State ,During closing argu ments at trial made impermissible comments on Applicant's not taking the stand to tell his side,"nobody else knows what happen- ed,the State could have called 100 witnesses but nobody else kno ws what except for [victim] and Randy Kaizer. '(RR4, p. 86}ln his claim,Applicant used this statement as a third party to show what the prosecution wanted the jury to believe.The record will supp- • ort this claim.
With the issue of the times that counsel visited with Applic- • ant,the State wants to discredit Applicant.The state indicates it was only one month and Applicant indicates two months it took counsel to visit Applicant after being appointed as counsel.As the court will see both parties are wrong,the time was inbetween one and two months.This may be a small error,yet the State wishes to discredited Applicant with the Court.Applicant ask the Court to not consider the miscalculation... H. C. Gr . 13-14 exh 2.
(6) The State claims that Applicant offers no theory of harm for counsel not being prompt in contacting Applicant upon being appoi nted. Applicant was arrested for the allege offense after being separated from the victim's mother for over two years.Therefore the arrest was a surprise and without an indictment until Nov.19, 2010,three months after being arrested.The Applicant was at the mercy of his attorney and his knofededge of the law.
Applicant's bond was set at 100,000.00.With prompt represent ation ,counsel could have submitted^ motion for bond reduction on behalf" ofApplicant,therefore allowing Applicant to utilize his resources upon arrest.
Counsel could have immeditaly file motion for discovery and take the proper procedures in obtaining an order from the Court for the defense to conduct it's own disposition of the victim.
This would of allowed counsel 2 recordings of what the victim alleges occurred.Ten of the fourteen counts in the indictment had been dismissed due to insufficient evidence because of ina^eqafefee testimony of the victim.This also would help incase a party atte mpted to influence the victim into stating some other allegations in her statement.
This case is based on an OUTCRY that allegely occurred two years before applicant's arrest.No physical evidence was presen ted during trial.Any help in preparing the victim for testimony was detramental to the Applicant.lt is well known that the prac tice of the State is to prepare the witness to testify in what to say and what to expect from the defense.
Applicant was harmed because counsel was not prompt in his representation.Applicant was accused of a hideous offense,one that many would be bias too,including family,friends and assoc iates .Support from those resources may of been lost through the passege of time.
XI The State claims that a defense was made by using the discove ry provided by the State.The Applicant is not indispute with what
(7) .'..the State claims here. Applicant is in agreement that counsel did not do it's own independent investigation.The State claims.
Applicant presents no proof to his accusation of the victims father as the one who committed the assult.In convicting Appli cant,the State presented no physical proof,no witne|seAo the allege offense other than the victim,nor were there any circum stantial evidence.Applicant was found guilty because the State told the jury that no evidence was needed to convict Applicant other than the OUTCRY of the victim.The State wants Applicant to present evidence after being incarcerated for five years.
Applicant's alibi,of no window of time or opporutunity to commit the offense has not been discuss by the State or trial counsel in State's Supplemental Answer or counsel's affidavit.
Applicant submitted the victim's mother (Maria Medrano),work schedule in his. habeas corpus .(h. C. Gr .13>ounsel or State failed to aknowledge this claim thereby ,failing to deveople all the facts order by this court.
XII The Habeas court in their "Supplemental Findings,Conclusion, and Recommendation",has adopted the Starts findings without con ducting it's own hearing.lt is well known that the practice of the Habeas Court is to adopt the State's findings,as it did here.
Without a proper hearing the Applicant is not afforded a fair hearing in accords with the Texas and United States Constitution.
Applicant's right of due process of law have been violated in the coarse of the hearing at the habeas court level.
This Court once order the habeas court that additional facts were needed.Though the habeas court adopted the State's findings and trial counsel's affidavit,these Statements were inadequate to comply with this court instructions,and the habeas court recomme ndation should not be considered.Applicant suggest for tjis.Court to take it's own initiative and order an evidentiary hearing be held to develope the facts needed so this Court could decide that
(.8) ...the Applicant be recommended for a new trial.
CONCLUSION AND PRAYER For the foregoing reason,the Applicant respectfully suggest to this Court to findrthe habeas court did not complywith this -n Court's instructions;2$further expansion of the record ,by an evidentiary hearing,is needed to afford the Applicant with a full and fair hearing,3)the summeries of trial counsel and the State are inadequate to develope the facts needed to fullfill a proper record that would be sufficient to let this Court make a fair decision.
Therefore the Applicant suggest that this Court deny the habeas court recommendation.
