Oral Arguments - 10/7/09

On October 7, 2009, the CCA heard oral argument in the following cases:

AP-75,749, Dexter Darnell Johnson v. State, a capital murder case out of Harris County:

Appellant's opening - Charles Hinton
State's response - Jessica Caird
Appellant's rebuttal
This was a death penalty case, so appeal to the CCA was automatic and there was no underlying court of appeals opinion (or post from me about granting of discretionary review). Sorry.

AP-75,634, Adrian Estrada v. State, a capital murder case out of Bexar County:

Appellant's opening - Brian W. Stull
State's response - Crystal Chandler
Appellant's rebuttal
Againwith the death penalty and no underlying opinion or post about the CCA granting discretionary review. C'est la vie.

PD-1263-08, Rodger Eugene Mansfield, Jr. v. State, an aggravated sexual assault out of Harris County:

Apellant's opening - Janet, not Robert, Morrow
State's response - Carol Cameron
Appellant's response
Here's a link to the underlying opinion. Here's a link to the underlying case information. And here's a link to my post when the CCA granted discretionary review.

PD-1569-08, Francis William Stringer v. State, a possession of child pornography case out of Tarrant County:

Appellant's opening - David A. Pearson, IV
State's response - Debra Windsor
Appellant's rebuttal
Here's a link to the court of appeals opinion. Here's a link to the court of appeals case information. And here's a link to my post when the CCA granted discretionary review.
