MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT

THE REPORTER’S RECORD

COMES NOW Eric Lyle Williams, by and through his court appointed attorney on appeal, John Tatum, and respectfully submits this Motion to Supplement the Reporter’s Record in the above entitled and numbered cause. In support of this Motion, Appellant would show this Honorable Court the following:

I.

The Defendant, Eric Lyle Williams, pleaded not guilty to the charge of Capital Murder before the Honorable Michael R. Snipes, Judge Presiding of 422nd Judicial Court of Kaufman County, Texas. The jury found the Defendant guilty as charged in the indictment. The jury answered “yes” to Special Issues No. 1 and “No” to Special Issue No. 2. The Court assessed punishment at death by lethal injection.

II.

The Reporter’s Record has been filed in this cause and provided to Appellant’s counsel on CD-Rom with the exception of juror questionnaires used by the parties in conducting jury selection. Appellant has requested the Kaufman County District Clerk make available the juror questionnaires to Appellant’s counsel and supplement the record with these documents under seal and or properly redacted.

III.

Appellant will be raising issues involving the trial court’s denial of Appellant’s peremptory or cause challenges on venire members during voir dire. Appellant requests that juror questionnaires be made part of the record. These questionnaires are necessary to aid counsel in researching voir dire issues to be raised on appeal and for this Honorable Court in resolving the issues raised on appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeals.

IV.

State’s counsel has no objection to this request to supplement the record.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this Court will grant his Motion to Supplement the Reporter’s Record in this Cause.

Respectfully submitted,
