§ COURT Of TEXAS
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO "FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING"
TO THE HONORABLE SAID:
Now Comes, Jorge V. Porras, Applicant, pro-se, in the above styled and numbered cause
files his "Motion for Extension of Time to 'File Motion for Rehearing,'" and will respectfully show
the Court the following:
I
Applicant's 11.07 Writ of Habeas Corpus was denied without written order on January 14,
2015. The Court of Criminal Appeals mailed it out to the Applicant on January 15, 2015 in which
the unit mailroom received it on the 16th of January and the unit mail room issued a pass for
Applicant to pick up legal mail on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 due to Monday January 19, 2015
being Martin Luther King holiday.
II
It would be a grave miscarriage of justice if the applicant's 11.07 is not re-heard because
1) all affidavits and police report plus an FBI affidavit pointes to the real person and that the
applicant was just there, 2) because a capital case, you cannot waive your rights to a jury trial
therefore applicant's judgment and sentence is void and null, 3) because of number 2 it is implied
that only a jury trial finds you guilty in a capital case, therefore, no confession or the trial judge
is sufficient enough to support a conviction on a capital case. Only a jury can find you guilty
therefore applicant's confession is no good to support a conviction on a capital case. Also there
is no evidences to support the conviction in fact the affidavits, police report, and FBI affidavit
pointed to the real person who committed the death of the victims. The applicant was just only
at the same house with others. What's funny is that the one that cause the death was never
charge for capital murder.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Applicant prays that this Motion be granted. For
this the Applicant will pray.
