IFP petition · Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas, No. WR-78,114-02 · judgment November 11, 2020
Question presented
(CAPITAL CASE) I. Did the trial prosecutors deny Mr. Hamilton Due Process by failing to disclose exculpatory fingerprint comparison results relevant to an extraneous capital murder presented at his punishment trial? II. Was Mr. Hamilton denied Due Process when the state presented false and misleading evidence concerning an extraneous murder at his capital punishment trial, and misled the trial court and jury about the existence of exculpatory fingerprint evidence? III. Is the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment violated by a death sentence grounded upon evidence that has been revealed to be materially inaccurate?
