Re: Court of Criminal Appeals No. AP-77,030
Trial Court Cause No. F12-23749-W
Matthew Lee Johnson v. The State of Texas
Dear Mr.Acosta:
Defense Counsel is in receipt of the Court’s letter dated February 13, 2015. The
undersigned counsel will present oral argument on behalf of Appellant in the above
mentioned case on March 18, 2015. Appellant’s counsel w ill present argument on
issues Nos. 8-19 which concern four jurors that the trial court excused sua sponte
without letting the defense voir dire the prospective jurors which resulted in the final
makeup of the jury which denied Appellant his right to due process.
Sincerely,
/s/ John Tatum
