The underlying suit arises out of Cause Numbers 11–01–13703, 11–01–13704 and 11–01–13705, entitled “THE STATE OF TEXAS v. DOMINIQUE DONTAE LASKER" in the 506th Judicial District Court of Waller County, Texas. 2. Respondent is ALBERT M. McCAIG, JR., Judge of the 506th Judicial District Court of Waller County, Texas. 3. Relator/Defendant, Dominique Dontae Lasker, is entitled to relief, a dismissal of charges, pursuant to the provisions of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers. Tex. C. Crim. P. Art. 51.14 (IADA). On March 11, 2014, and July 15, 2014, the trial court entered orders denying Defendant's motions seeking relief under the IADA. Appendix I, pp. 147, 157; Appendix II, pp. 149, 154; Appendix III, pp. 149, 154. The IADA is a congressionally-sanctioned compact between the United States and the states, see Culer v. Adams, 449 U.S. 433, 442, 101 S. Ct. 703, 66 L. Ed. 2d 641 (1981). The action of Respondent, the Honorable Albert M. McCaig, Jr., the Presiding Judge of the 506th Judicial District Court of Waller County, Texas, being complained of is the issuance of Orders denying Defendant's Motion to PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS PAGE 1 C:\NetShare\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lasker.DD.81075\Mandamus-CCA\Petition.wpdF Dismiss and Motion to Dismiss for Violation of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers that does not comport with the mandate of the IADA. Relator, DOMINIQUE DONTAE LASKER, seeks an extraordinary Writ of Mandamus from this Honorable Court to compel Respondent to vacate the Orders denying Defendant's Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Dismiss for Violation of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers and ordering Respondent to dismiss the indictment filed against Relator. 4. A petition requesting the same relief was filed in the Court of Appeals for the First Judicial District on July 25, 2014, in Cause Numbers 01–14–00630–CR, 01–14–00631–CR and 01–14–00632–CR. A Memorandum Opinion was issued on January 27, 2015, denying the petition for writ of mandamus. The justices who participated in the decision were Justices Jennings, Massengale and Lloyd. Appendix VIII. Relator’s motion for reconsideration en banc was denied on March 31, 2015. Appendix IX. Statement of Jurisdiction The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction to hear this Original Proceeding and to grant the relief requested under Article V, Section 5(c), of the Texas Constitution; Art. 4.04 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure; and Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52. PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS PAGE 2 C:\NetShare\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lasker.DD.81075\Mandamus-CCA\Petition.wpdF  The Respondent was acting in an official capacity as the Presiding Judge for the 506th Judicial District Court of Waller County, Texas, when the actions complained of occurred. The Relator has no right of appeal from the actions of Respondent, and no other adequate remedy at law is available. The actions sought to be compelled of Respondent are ministerial rather than discretionary in nature. Statement of Issue Presented THE TRIAL COURT ERRED IN DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS THE INDICTMENT ALTHOUGH DEFENDANT WAS NOT TAKEN TO TRIAL WITHIN THE 180 DAYS FROM THE DATE HIS REQUEST FOR SPEEDY DISPOSITION OF HIS DETAINER WAS RECEIVED OR WITHIN THE120 DAYS FROM HIS ARRIVAL TO WALLER COUNTY IN VIOLATION OF THE MANDATE OF ENGLE V. COKER, 820 S.W.2d 247 (TEX. APP.–BEAUMONT 1991) AND THE INTERSTATE AGREEMENT ON DETAINERS ACT, TEX. C. CRIM. P. ART. 51.14. Statement of Facts On January 27, 2011, Relator was indicted for the offense of murder of Stanley Ray Jackson in Cause Number 11-01-13704. Appendix II, p. 2. On January 27, 2011, Relator was indicted for the offense of murder of Janella Edwards in Cause Number 11-01-13705. Appendix III, p. 2. On January 27, 2011, Relator was indicted for the offense of capital murders of Stanley Ray Jackson and Janella Edwards in Cause Number 11-01-13703. Appendix I, p. 2. At that time Relator was in federal custody on federal back robbery charges PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS PAGE 3 C:\NetShare\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lasker.DD.81075\Mandamus-CCA\Petition.wpdF unrelated to the capital murder and murder charges. See the stipulation of the parties. Appendix VII-5, p. 34. On December 16, 2011, Relator was sentenced to the federal prison for one hundred and twenty-one months. Appendix VII-5, p. 33. While he was in the federal prison serving that sentence Waller County placed a detainer on him for the three indictments. See the statement of the prosecutor. Appendix VII-5, p. 7. While serving that sentence and while the Waller County detainers were placed on him, Relator made two requests for speedy disposition of the detainers. Appendix I, pp. 6 & 18; Appendix II, pp. 6 and 18; Appendix III, pp. 6 and 18. Relator submitted his first request for speedy disposition under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (IADA) in July of 2012. Appendix VII-5, p. 18. It was received by the District Clerk of Waller County on July 16, 2012. It was received by the District Attorney on July 19, 2012. Appendix I, p. 170; Appendix II, p. 167; Appendix III, p. 167. Relator submitted his second request for speedy disposition under the IADA in 2013. The second request was received by the District Clerk and the District Attorney on February 8, 2013. The second request was mailed by certified mail. Appendix VII-5, p. 19. PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS PAGE 4 C:\NetShare\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lasker.DD.81075\Mandamus-CCA\Petition.wpdF  Pursuant to the IADA the State of Texas requested that the federal government enter into an agreement allowing Texas to have temporary custody of Relator. Texas obtained such temporary custody of Relator on May 24, 2013. Appendix VII-5, p. 21. Pursuant to the IADA, Article III, the State is required to bring the case to trial within 180 days of Relator’s request. If Relator’s first request was sufficient, then the 180-day time period expired on January 14, 2013. If for any reason that request is deemed flawed, and if his second request is sufficient, then the time period expired on or before August 7, 2013. The record will show that this case was not brought to trial nor was any continuance granted prior to August 7, 2013. Pursuant to Art. V(c) of the IADA, Relator is entitled to have all three indictments dismissed with prejudice. On September 9, 2013, in open court the State’s motion for continuance was granted until February 24, 2014, over the objections of Relator that such order violated the IADA. Appendix VII-3, pp. 30-31. The continuance was granted without good cause. On March 11, 2014, the trial court denied Defendant’s motions to dismiss, signing the written order in Cause Number 11–01–13703 on that date (Appendix I, p. 147) and signing the orders in Cause Numbers 11–01–13704 and PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS PAGE 5 C:\NetShare\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lasker.DD.81075\Mandamus-CCA\Petition.wpdF 11–01–13705 on July 2, 2014. Appendix II, p. 149; Appendix III, p. 149. On July 15, 2014, the trial court denied Defendant’s Motions to Dismiss for Violation of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers. Appendix I, p. 157; Appendix II:, p. 154; Appendix III, p. 154. From these Orders Relator files this Petition for Writ of Mandamus. Argument and Authorities A prisoner who is transferred pursuant to the IADA is entitled to be tried within 180 days of the receipt of his demand for speedy disposition. Tex. C. Crim. P. Art. 51.14, Art. III(a) and Art. V(c). Mandamus relief should be granted when a trial court fails to grant a dismissal with prejudice despite a violation of the IADA. In re Dacus, 337 S.W.3d 501, (Tex. App.–Ft. Worth 2011). In this case the Court and the prosecutor received two requests demanding speedy disposition of the charges pending in Waller County, Texas. At the time those requests were made Relator was an inmate in the federal penitentiary while Waller County had lodged a detainer on him for these charges. The first request was sent by the Relator directly to the Court and to the prosecutor. The second request was submitted by the Relator to the warden, who sent the requests to the Court and the prosecutor by certified mail. PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS PAGE 6 C:\NetShare\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lasker.DD.81075\Mandamus-CCA\Petition.wpdF  The State contended to the trial court that both sets of requests were fatally defective and did not invoke the IADA. With regard to the first request the State complains that the request was not submitted to the warden and mailed to the Court and the prosecutor by certified mail. Appendix VII-5, pp. 8-9. Some Texas courts have held that it is not required that the IADA request go through the warden, but that the inmate may himself make the demand for speedy disposition directly to the Court and the prosecuting attorney. Huff v. State, No. 04–13–00891–CR, 2015 Tex. App. LEXIS 3401 (Tex. App.–San Antonio, April 8, 2015), at *24, citing Walker v. State, 201 S.W.3d 841 at 846; Snyder v. State, No. 08-04-00246-CR, 2005 Tex. App. LEXIS 7750, 2005 WL 2313676, at *1 (Tex. App.–El Paso Sept. 22, 2005, no pet.) (not designated for publication); Rowe v. State, Nos. 01–97–00677–CR & 01–97–00678–CR, 1999 Tex. App. LEXIS 4922, 1999 WL 442139, at *7 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] July 1, 1999, pet. ref'd) (not designated for publication); State v. Powell, 971 S.W.2d 577, 580 (Tex. App.–Dallas 1998, no pet.); Lara v. State, 909 S.W.2d 615, 618 (Tex. App.–Fort Worth 1995, pet. ref'd); Bryant v. State, 819 S.W.2d 927, 931 (Tex. App.–Houston [14th Dist.] 1991, pet. ref'd); Burton v. State, 805 S.W.2d 564, 575 (Tex. App.–Dallas 1991, pet. ref'd). With regard to his first request, there is no controversy that both the State and the Court received an explicit request for PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS PAGE 7 C:\NetShare\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lasker.DD.81075\Mandamus-CCA\Petition.wpdF speedy disposition under the IADA directly from Relator, albeit not by certified mail or with the certificate of the warden. The case of Fex v. Michigan, 507 U.S. 43, 52, 113 S.Ct. 1085, 1091 (1993), suggests the 180-day time period begins when the request is received by the prosecutor and the court. The U.S. Supreme Court has never indicated that the manner the request is sent is significant to the implementation of the IADA. The Supreme Court has rejected narrow interpretations of the IADA once a detainer has lodged and the policies of the IADA are fully implicated. United States v. Mauro, 436 U.S. 340, at 362. Article IX of the IADA states that “[t]his agreement shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate its purpose.” The State’s argument that Relator’s first request is deficient and fails to invoke the time limits of the IADA is contrary to the Supreme Court’s guidance in Mauro and Article IX of the Agreement. The State’s contention concerning Relator’s second request has no basis in any precedent. The State contended at the February 11, 2014, hearing that the Warden’s certificate did not contain information concerning Relator’s parole eligibility date or what action the Parole Board had taken concerning Relator. Appendix VII-5, p. 10. In response, at that hearing Relator’s counsel asked the trial court to take judicial knowledge that Relator as a federal prisoner was not PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS PAGE 8 C:\NetShare\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lasker.DD.81075\Mandamus-CCA\Petition.wpdF eligible for parole. Appendix VII-5, pp. 22-23. Relator’s counsel also argued that although the two lines were left blank they “were appropriately left blank. ... They could have said none, not applicable, there are other ways to do it, but blank is also accurate.” Appendix VII-5, p. 27. Should this Court consider the two blanks on the certificate material, the defects should be considered waived. In Engle v. Coker, 820 S.W.2d 247 (Tex. App.–Beaumont 1991), the State argued that defects in the notice of imprisonment and request for disposition should prevent any dismissal under the IADA. The Beaumont Court pointed out that the State’s action in bringing Engle to Texas waived any defects; the court enforced the time limits of the IADA despite the defects and dismissed the prosecutions. Here the valid second request for disposition was received by both the Court and the prosecutor on February 8, 2013. Relator was returned to Waller County on May 24, 2013. The 180-day time period expired on August 7, 2013. No defect in the warden’s certification prevented the State from seeking a trial date or a continuance before the August 7 deadline. The failure to try the case or get a continuance before that date is fatal and demands a dismissal under the IADA. As the Supreme Court wrote: For present purposes, it is important to keep in mind that the Agreement basically (1) gives a prisoner the right to demand a trial PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS PAGE 9 C:\NetShare\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lasker.DD.81075\Mandamus-CCA\Petition.wpdF  within 180 days; and (2) gives a State the right to obtain a prisoner for purposes of trial, in which case the State (a) must try the prisoner within 120 days of his arrival, and (b) must not return the prisoner to his "original place of imprisonment" prior to that trial. Alabama v. Bozeman, 533 U.S. 146, 151, 121 S.Ct. 2079, 2083 (2001). Based on the foregoing Relator is entitled to relief and dismissal of all three indictments pending in Waller County. Prayer Relator prays that this Honorable Court grant this Petition for Writ of Mandamus and issue an order directing the trial court to dismiss with prejudice the indictments in Cause Numbers 11–01–13703, 11–01–13704 and 11–01–13705 because of the violations of the time limits in the IADA.

The Defendant waived arraignment and entered a not guilty plea on July 15th, 2013. 8. The Defendant requested and was granted additional counsel on July 18th, 20l3. 9. No discovery of any kind has been requested by counsel for the Defendant until counsel met together at the District Attorney's Office on August 28 th, 20l3. 10. No court date has been requested by counsel for the Defendant. There has never been a request for trial or pretrial dates. No trial date has been set by the court. 11. No motions have been filed by counsel with the exception of a request for additional counsel. 12. To the knowledge of the undersigned attorney no request for investigator fees or psychological evaluation has been made by counsel. 13. To the knowledge of the undersigned attorney there has been no request to see and inspect the State's file. 14. Defense counsel has not reviewed any evidence in the possession of the District Attorney and has not reviewed the State's file. 15. On or about June 12,2013 the elected Criminal District Attorney Elton R. Mathis spoke with defense counsel Frank Blazek over the telephone regarding this case. As a result of that discussion Elton R. Mathis believed that defense counsel was requesting '(1  that the case be put on hold pending time for Frank Blazek to assemble a mitigation packet to present to Elton R. Mathis in an attempt to get Elton R. Mathis to refrain from seeking the death penalty in the capital case. The District Attorney's Office has been actively preparing this case for trial, yet not anticipating a trial date in September 2013. 16. The State's trial case requires the presences of several out of state witnesses from various law enforcement agencies in California and Virginia. Given the present posture of the case, the State will require more time to coordinate and assure those witnesses' presence. 17. The Defense has not yet designated the expert witnesses it expects to call in their case in chief or in sentencing for purposes of mitigation. The State anticipates a significant time necessary to prepare for rebuttal. The State has filed a request for the names and addresses of any such defense experts. 18. The State has filed a motion for the psychological evaluation of the Defendant which has not been heard or completed. 19. The first assistant criminal district attorney is scheduled for hip replacement surgery on September 3rd, 2013. Recovery time is anticipated to be up to eight weeks. This surgery has already been rescheduled once so that the attorney would be able to try The State of Texas v. Taylor McShan. The first assistant has been primarily involved in the investigation and prosecution of this cause. To assign the case to another attorney in the office other than the elected Criminal District Attorney would be a hardship. 20. Defense counsel Blazek in his Motion for Appointment ofAttorney as Co-Defense Counsel indicates that this case is complex and requires more than one attorney. This statement is true on behalf of the State of Texas as well. 'If  21. The State of Texas intends to seek the death penalty in this case. It is anticipated that the jury selection and trial of this case could take four to six weeks or possibly more. 22. The Defendant in this cause faces the death penalty and has only been represented by counsel for approximately 85 days. To proceed to trial at this time or any time in the near future would be reversible and harmful error. 23. While acknowledging the existence of Article 51.14 of the Texas Code a/Criminal Procedure the undersigned does hereby assert that any provisions therein mandating trial by a date certain are impermissibly restrictive, are overbroad, and violate the separation of powers doctrines of the Texas and!or Federal Constitutions. Whether or not a case is ready for trial is based on numerous factors and cannot be reduced to a simple fonnula that applies equally to Class C Misdemeanors and Capital Felonies. The determination of when a case is ready for trial is in the province of the judiciary not the legislature. Counsel would further show that this is the first request for a continuance by the State of Texas. II. This Motion is made in the interest of justice and not for the purpose of delay, but so that justice may be done. A continuance is requested for only as long as is necessary. THEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State of Texas prays that this Motion be granted and this cause be set at a later date.  Respectfully Submitted, ~ Elton R.

In support of this motion the State would show the following: 1. The Defendant is charged by indictment with one Capital Murder and two indictments of Murder in the first degree alleged to have occurred on or about March 11,2010. Issues of mitigation may be and will likely be at issue during the course of the Defendant's trial and a psychological examination would aid the Court or jury in any determination it may be asked to make concerning competency and matters of sentencing. 2. The Defendant made statements to Texas Rangers during an interview to the effect that he saw a ghost at the time of the offenses and that he often thinks about hurting and killing other people. 3. The Defendant in correspondence made during his incarceration in California made statements to the effect he feels there might be something ''wrong'' with him and he wanted his wife to check on the internet with the "Veteran's Court." 4. The Defendant in telephone conversations while incarcerated in California makes mention of a discussion he had with a prison counselor to the effect that he has "questioned himself' on the need for help on mental issues in the past. 5.

It should be noted that the definition of favorable evidence is very broad and includes evidence that is mitigating, even if it does not exculpate. The subject evidence in the Brady case was merely mitigating. 2. The State of Texas and its prosecutors have a duty to disclose any evidence suggesting that Defendant is not competent to stand trial.

Such statements and reports must be tendered to the defense for cross-examination on proper request under Gaskin or related requirements. 12. In the event that photographs, diagrams or models are prepared as 'J ury aids" at the direction of the State's attorneys before trial, such items will be considered work product unless the defense demonstrates a "particularized need" for inspection thereof. 13. This order will dispose of all pretrial discovery motions heretofore filed. Because of the extensive nature of the discovery herein ordered, it will be considered that such order is acceptable to the defense pending the review of evidence and documents as ordered. In the event that further particularized discovery is considered necessary, the defense may file a Motion for Discovery, addressing only matters not covered in this Order and such Motion will be presented to the Court at the earliest practical opportunity before trial. Such motion shall describe how the additional discovery differs from this Order. The State is ordered to furnish the above inspection and copying on or before ten (10) days prior to trial. DEFENSE COUNSEL SHALL PICK UP DISCOVERY AT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ON OR AFTER SUCH TIME. The Defense shall exercise reasonable diligence in contacting the State's attorney to arrange a mutually convenient time for the appointment. The State is ordered to prepare a list of exhibited or furnished items to be filed among the papers of this cause within seven (7) days after discovery is completed.

The State of Texas obtained an indictment for Capital Murder in this cause in January, 2011. Waller County placed a detainer concerning this cause on Defendant while he was serving time in a federal prison. Defendant has twice requested a final disposition to the indictment which was the basis of the detainer under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (!ADA), Art. 51.14 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Such request also demanded a speedy trial under the constitutional proviSions of the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. 2. More than 180 days have passed since the District Clerk and the Prosecutor received Defendant's written notice and request. The District Clerk of Waller County received the request on July 16, 2012. The District Clerk of Waller County received a second such request on February 8, 2013. The District Attorney of Waller County received the two requests on or about July 16,2012, and February 8, 2013, as well. The second request was properly transmitted by and through the warden of the federal prison facility in which Defendant was incarcerated. FIRST AMENDED MOTION TO DISMISS PAGE 1 C:\FB\CRIM_K-O\LAskcr.DD,flI07S\11-01-13701 CM\Mntinn to Dil;miss,002.wpd  3. No delay has been sought by the Defendant. The Court has not found that good cause exists for any delay prior to the passing of 180 days. No trial has been commenced despite the passage of over 180 days. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 51.14, Article V § (c) ("in the event that an action on the indictment ... on the basis of which the detainer has been lodged is not brought to trial within the period provided in ... Article IV hereof, the appropriate court of the jurisdiction where the indictment ... has been pending shall enter an order dismissing the same with prejudice, and any detainer based thereon shall cease to be of any force or effect.") Davis v. State, 345 S.W.3d 71,75 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011). If the 180-day time period set by Art. III(a) of the IADA began running on February 8, 2013, trial should have commenced on or before August 7, 2013. If that period began running on July 16, 2012, commencement of trial should have been on or before January 14, 2013. 4. Defendant is entitled to have the cause dismissed under both the !ADA and federal constitutional right to a speedy trial. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant prays that this Court will Order the indictment herein be dismissed with prejudice.

Defendant would show that the State intends to offer an alleged confession of the Defendant; that said confession was taken without his attorney being present, in violation of the Defendant's right to have his attorney present to consult with under Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution of the State of Texas and the 6th Amendment of the United States Constitution; that said confession was taken involuntarily from the Defendant in response to threats, in violation of his right to remain silent as protected by Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution of the State of Texas and the 5th Amendment of the United States Constitution; that said confession was taken in violation of his right to due process as protected by the 5th and 6th Amendments of the United States Constitution and the 14th Amendment thereto; and that said confession was taken in violation of his right: to due course of law as established by Article I, Section 19 of the Texas Constitution. Admission of said confession would be in violation of Article 38.22 and Article 38.23,.Code of Criminal Procedure. 2. Defendant's purported confession is not audible on the tape. The jury would be required to speculate as to the statement actually made by the Defendant. The tape does contain many statements made by law enforcement that characterize the evidence developed in the investigation and relate their account of what statement they purport the Defendant has MOTION TO SUPPRESS CONFESSION PAGE 1 C:\FB\CRlM_K.O\Lasker.DD.81 075\11·01.13703 CM\Suppress.OO I.wpd 1'13 made. Such statements by law enforcement on the recording constitute a speaking offense report and are inadmissible hearsay. To the extent that they are a statement of what they contend the Defendant told them, they constitute a violation of Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 38.22, which requires that Defendant's statement be recorded, not the officers' verbal account thereof. 3.

N -f:::::J f'i1X x STATE'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS ~ t;; TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: COMES NOW the State of Texas by and through the undersigned Assistant District Attorney and submits this STATE'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS and would show as follows: FACTS: Stanley Ray Jackson and Janella Edwards were found murdered in their residence in Brookshire, Texas in the early morning hours of March 10,2010. Both Edwards and Jackson had been shot in the head with a firearm. A lengthy investigation ensued whereby it was discovered that Dominique Dontae Lasker was home on leave from the United States Marine Corp during the time that Edwards and Jackson were murdered. Lasker had lived with Edwards and Jackson at times during his childhood. It was also determined through an FBI firearm analysis that a firearm used in a October 30, 2010 bank robbery in California was the same firearm used to . murderEdwards and Jackson on March 10, 2.010. The firearm used in the bank robbery was in the possession of Dominique Dontae Lasker. Lasker was interviewed 1 by Texas Rangers while he was being held in California and confessed to the murder of Edwards and Jackson. Lasker was indicted by a Waller County Grand Jury of two counts of murder and one count of Capital Murder on January 27,2011 and although it is not clear from the court's records, the State presumes that a detainer was issued a short time after indictment asking that Lasker be held to stand trial here in Waller County. While the murder charges were pending in Waller County, Lasker was sentence to one hundred and twenty-one (121) months imprisonment in a Federal penitentiary on or about January 30, 2013 for the California bank robbery charges. On July 19t\ 2012 the State received a "Notice and Demand to District Attorney for Trial or Disposition of Warrants, Informations, Detainers or Indictments by Federal Prisoners, " presumably under Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Art. 51.14, Art. III. It appears that the motion was received by the Waller County District Attorney's Office via standard u.S. mail directly from Lasker without participation or knowledge of the Federal Prison authorities and not certified mail as required by Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Art. 51.14, Art. III. The motion did not contain the requisite certificate from the warden of the holding authority and in its failure did not contain any of the required information such as date of parole eligibility, good time calculation, decisions of the parole board,. time remaining to be served and time already served by the prisoner. 2 /)0  On August 31,2012, Waller County requested and received lAD Fonn V from Ed Perez, an administrator for the Federal holding facility. The State intended to bring Lasker back to Waller County in accordance with Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Art. 51.14, Art. IV. On January 2, 2013 the State sent a request to the Warden of the holding authority for temporary custody of Lasker. This request included copies of the indictments and warrants as well as lAD Fonn V, "Request for Temporary Custody." Of note is the inclusion of a signature block for the Judge of this Court on lAD Fonn V. On January 31, 2013 (the actual date of receipt is unclear but the letter was presumably written on January 31,2013), Waller County received a response to its request for temporary custody of the inmate advising Waller County that the inmate had waived his thirty day notice to object to the temporary custody. The Warden further advised that yet another fonn (lAD Fonn VI, "Evidence of Agent's Authority to Act for Receiving State), would be required along with signatures of the actual agents who would eventually pick up the prisoner. Also attached to the above were lAD Fonns ''Notice of Untried Indictment", "Placement of Imprisonment", "Certificate of Inmate Status" and "Offer to Deliver Temporary Custody." The effect of these Forms was to make a demand on Waller County, State of Texas to bring the inmate back to Waller County for trial 3 I )J  in accordance with Article III of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act. This notice was delivered on or about February 8, 2013. It should be noted that the Certificate of Inmate Status was not in compliance with Article III in that (1 )it left blank the date of parole eligibility and (2) left blank any mention of decisions that mayor may not have been made by the parole board concerning the inmate. On April 8, 2013 Waller County received by FAX a copy of the request lAD Form VI from the Federal Warden. On April 17, 2013, Waller County sent lAD Form VI to the Texas lAD administrator, Donna Bell. On May I, 20l3, Waller County forwarded on lAD Form VI that had now been signed by the Texas lAD Administrator to the Federal Warden. Lasker was returned to Waller County on May 24,2013 and has been in Waller County custody since that time. The Defendant's first court date in Waller County was on June 4, 2013. At that time the Defendant informed the Court that there were a number of motions on file and that he wanted a decision on those motions. The Court informed the Defendant that he needed to be represented by counsel. The Defendant had in fact requested in his lAD Form "Placement of Imprisonment," that he be appointed counsel by the requesting Court for all matters preliminary to trial. With that in mind the Court appointed the Regional Public Defender on June 4, 2013 and continued the 4 17)... matter until such time as the Regional Public Defender could consult with Lasker and otherwise become prepared to be to heard on the various motions that Lasker had filed. At some point after June 4, 2013 it was detennined that the Regional Public Defender could not represent this Defendant. The Court then appointed Mr. Frank Blazek on June 6, 2013. A few days later Mr. William Carter was appointed as co-counsel. After the State met and discussed the case with Mr. Blazak it became apparent that the Defense was not going to initiate any sort of court settings. The State requested a Court date so that certain matters could be heard. On September 9, 2013 the Court heard and granted its second continuance for good cause shown until November 4, 2013 whereby the Defendant waived arraignment and a scheduling order was signed by this Court. APPLICABLE LAW: The IADA is a congressionally-sanctioned compact between the United States and the states. Cuyler v. Adams, 449 U.S. 433, 442, 101 S. Ct. 703, 709, 66 L. Ed. 2d 641 (1981). As stated in Article I of the Act, "the policy of the party states and the purpose of the IADA is to encourage the expeditious and orderly disposition of outstanding charges and determination of the proper status of any and all detainers based on untried indictments, infom1ations, or complaints." 5 173  Birdwell v. Skeen, 983 F.2d 1332, 1335 (5th eir. 1993). Consistent with this purpose, the IADA permits a state to tile a detainer against a defendant residing in a prison in another state, gain temporary custody of the defendant, and prosecute the defendant on the charge that forms the basis of the detainer. U.S. v. Mauro, 436 u.S. 340, 351-53, 98 S. Ct. 1834, 1842-44, 56 L. Ed. 2d 329 (1978). The IADA also provides a mechanism for a person incarcerated in one jurisdiction with charges pending against him in another jurisdiction to be tried on the pending charges before being released from incarceration in the first jurisdiction. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 51.14, Art. I (Vernon 1979). Either the defendant or the jurisdiction where charges are pending may demand that the defendant be tried on the pending charges. lei. Arts.!, III, V. Article III (a) Whenever a person has entered upon a term of imprisonment in a penal or correctional institution of a party state, and whenever during the continuance of the term of imprisonment there is pending in any other party state any untried indictment, information, or complaint on the basis of which a detainer has been lodged against the prisoner, he shall be brought to trial wi thin 180 days after he shall have caused to be delivered to the prosecuting officer and the appropriate court of the prosecuting officer's jurisdiction written notice of the place of his imprisonment and his request for a final disposition to be made of the indictment, information or complaint. .. The lAD also states that the prisoner's request in Article fII (a): Shall be accompanied by a certificate of the appropriate official having custody of the prisoner, stating the term of commitment under 6  which the prisoner is being held, the time already served, the time remaining to be served on the sentence, the amount of good time earned, the time of parole eligibility of the prisoner, and any decision of the state parole agency relating to the prisoner. ARTICLE V. (c) I l' the appropriate authority shall refuse or fail to accept temporary custody of said person, or in the event that an action on the indictment, information, or complaint on the basis of which the detainer has been lodged is not brought to trial within the period provided in Article III or Article IV hereof, the appropriate court of the jurisdiction where the indictment, information, or complaint has been pending shall enter an order dismissing the same with prejudice, and any detainer based thereon shall cease to be of any force or effect. To request final disposition under article III, the defendant must cause "to be delivered to the prosecuting officer and the appropriate court of the prosecuting officer's jurisdiction written notice of the place of his imprisonment and his request for a final disposition to be made of the indictment." Id. art. IIl(a) (emphasis added). The IADA provides that a defendant can perform this requirement by sending the written notice and request for final disposition to the official having custody of him, who would then forward it to the appropriate prosecuting official and court by registered (certified mail, return receipt requested). fd. art. III(b). The Supreme Court has held that the 180-day provision "does not commence untinhe prisoner's request for final disposition of the charges against him has actually been delivered to the court and prosecuting officer of the 7 175 jurisdiction that lodged the detainer against him." Fex v. Michigan, 507 U.S. 43, 113 S. Ct. 1085, 1091, 122 L. Ed. 2d 406 (1993); State v. Powell, 971 S.W.2d 577, 580 (Tex.App.--Dallas 1998, no pet.). The inmate bears the burden of demonstrating compliance with the formal procedural requirements of Article IlL" Morganfield v. State, 919 SW2d 731, 734 eCt. App. - San Antonio [4 th Dist] 1996), U.S. v. Henson, 945 F.2d 430, 434 (1st Cir. 1991); Bryant v. State, 819 S.W.2d 927,930-31 (Tex.App.--Houston [14th Dist.] 1991, pet. refd). The failure of another state to follow the lAD does not require dismissal of the Texas [receiving state] charges." Bryant v. State, at 929. Delay caused by holding jurisdiction tolled until the receiving State receives the completed request form. Id. at 931. In Bryant, the court found that when the holding jurisdiction failed to send Bryant to Texas because of pending charges in other jurisdictions, that time the defendant was unavailable to Texas should not be taxed against Texas because Bryant was unavailable to her. At 931. The denial of a defendant's motion to dismiss an indictment under the lADA is a question of law reviewed de novo and the factual findings underlying that decision are reviewed on a clearly erroneous standard. United States v. Hall, 974 F.2d 1201, 1204 (9th Cir.1992). 8 I'7~  A prisoner seeking to benefit from the statutory provisions [of the Unifonn Mandatory Disposition of Retainers Act] must first meet the burden of compliance with the 'agreement.' NfcCallum v. State, 407 So.2d 865, 869 (Ala.Cr.App.1981). There must be strict compliance by the prisoner with the requirements . . ., otherwise, a conniving prisoner could finagle procedures to frustrate efforts of the prosecution to give the prisoner the benefit of the Interstate Compact on Detainers'), and attempts to deal directly with officials in the receiving state, he must satisfy the additional requirements of the agreement which would normally be executed by officials in the sending state." McCallum v. State, supra, at 869." Seymore v. State, 429 So.2d 1188, 1193-4 (Ala.Cr.App.1983). ~Vhitley v. State, 392 So.2d 1220, 1224 (Ala.Cr.App.1980), cert. denied, 392 So.2d 1225 (Ala.1981 ). If a Defendant takes it upon himself to notify the prosecutor and the Court directly, he is responsible for seeing that the notice is sent in the form required by the TAD. If Defendant's correspondences never properly comply with the notice requirements of the lAD so as to constitute "the required request," the 180 day period does not begin to run until Texas authorities have received the completed request form. Burton v. State, 805 S.W.2d at 575. When an inmate fails to serve the court where charges are pending, then he has failed to comply with the requirements of Art. III and the clock does not start ticking against the receiving 9 17/ jurisdiction. State v. Votta, 299 SW3d 130, 137 (Ct. Crim App 2009). Article III, section (a) of the IADA states that the prisoner's request must be "accompanied by a certificate of the appropriate official having custody of the prisoner stating the tenn of commitment ... the time already served, the time remaining ... on the sentence, the amount of good time earned, the time of parole eligibility... and any decision of the state parole agency relating to the prisoner." TEX. CODE CR[M. PROC. ANN. art. 51.14, Art. IH(a) (West 2006). And, should that information not be forwarded with the request for final disposition, the 180 day timeline remains dormant. Lara v. State, 909 S.W.2d 615 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth 1995, pet. refd), State v. Garcia, 2011 Tex. App. LEXIS 4272 (Tex. App. Amarillo, 2012). In a long line of cases that includes Powell v. Alabama, 287 U.S. 45 (1932), Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458 (1938), and Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335 (1963), this Court has recognized that the Sixth Amendment right to counsel exists, and is needed, in order to protect the fundamental right to a fair trial. The Constitution guarantees a fair trial through the Due Process Clauses, but it defines the basic elements of a fair trial largely through the several provisions of the Sixth Amendment. ARGUMENT: This case has become convoluted for a couple of reasons. The 10  Defendant allegedly committed the murders in Waller County on or about March 10,2010 and fled the jurisdiction. He did not become a suspect until facts became known about a bank robbery and his arrest in California on October 30, 2010. From that time until December 16, 2011, the Defendant was being held in California for trial. He was sentenced on December 16, 2011 and was committed for one hundred twenty-one months on January 12, 2012 to a Federal Penitentiary in California. The Defendant was indicted on the Waller County murder charges a couple weeks later on January 27, 2011 and presumably a detainer was placed on the Defendant shortly thereafter. The Waller County District Attorney's Office entered into a number of informal telephone conversations through the Waller County Sheriff s Office with Mr. Ed Perez at the Victorville Federal Penitentiary in California about what was needed to get the Defendant back to our jurisdiction for trial. Then on July 19, 2012 the Waller County District Attorney's Office received through regular mail attachment Number 1. The document is entitled "Notice and Demand to District Attorney/Prosecutor for Trial or Disposition of Warrant, Informations, Detainers or Indictments by Federal Prisoner" and attached to that motion was what appears to be some sort of sentence monitoring sheet. It further appears that the document was sent by the Defendant without any participation or notice to the warden or the prison authorities there in California. 11 (79 This is one of the documents that the Defendant claims in effect to be a notice under Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Article 51.14, Art. III, demanding trial within 180 days of receipt of the notice by the Court and the District Attorney. If such were the case, then trial would have had to be commenced on or before January 16, 2013. Another consequence of this notice, if it were effective, is that it in effect waives the right of the Defendant to insist on the fonna1 extradition process and renders consent to be taken back to the jurisdiction seeking the Defendant for trial. There are a number of problems with this Defendant's attempt at giving an Art. III notice. The notice has a few "shalls" in its wording. First, in Art.III (b) the notice "shall" be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. This requirement among other things gives both the prosecuting attorney and the Count some idea of just when the 180 days begins to run and does not leave that important date up to the vagrancies of in-office date stamping, claims of in-office routing problems and the like. The second "shall" in Art.III (a) requires that a "certificate" be included by and from the warden of the holding facility. The Article goes on to say that there are at a least five pieces of infonnation this certificate shall contain: 1) the tenn of commitment, 2) the time already served, 3) the time remaining to be served on the sentence, 4) the amount of good time earned, 5) the time of parole eligibility of the prisoner and 6) any decision of the state parole agency relation to 12  the prisoner. All of this infonnation is vital to the decision making process that may come into play by the trying Court and to the prosecutor. Another important concern that comes into play in this case is that the request by the Defendant through the warden of the holding authority gets the warden into the information loop, the import of which will be discussed below. It is clear from the case law cited above that a failure on the warden OR the Defendant to strictly comply with the Interstate Agreement requirements in Article III results in no notice to the trying Court and the prosecutor. (See Fex, Powell, Morganfield, Henson, Bryant, McCullum, Seymore, Whitley, {... the 180 day period does not begin to run until Texas authorities have received the complete request form .. .}Burton, Lara, Garcia. The failure of the Defendant to make his request through the warden caused the prison authorities to be in the dark about the Defendants intentions concerning returning back to Waller County. The warden did not know that Defendant had made a demand to be returned, so that when answering inquiries from Waller County about the Defendant's return, the holding authorities advised Waller County would have to make our request in accordance with Art. IV. This procedure requires the filing out of various forms and the obtaining of various signatures before Art. V (also requiring additional forms) could be triggered and the Defendant could eventually be picked up. Art. V also triggers different time 13 It! requirements. If the Defendant were obtained via Art. IV, then his trial had to commence within 120 days of his arrival back in the requesting jurisdiction unless good cause was shown for the Court to continue the case. Waller County began this procedure beginning infonnally after we determined that the Defendant had been arrested in California. It continued more fonnally after he was sentenced in California in January 2013. and continued November 2012 (attachment #2) through May 2013 (attachment #3). On February 8, 2013 Waller County and the Court received another Art.III request (attachment #4) by certified mail this time through the warden of the holding authority. This demand contained a cover letter from the warden, "Notice of Untried Indictment," "Placement of Imprisonment," and a "Certificate of Inmate Status." The Certificate, however, did not contain the full infonnation required by Art III in that it omitted 1) the date of parole eligibility of the prisoner and, 2) the decisions of the U.S. Parole Commission relating to the prisoner. It is the position of the State that his February 2013 "notice" is likewise ineffective for the same reasons stated above. The Court and the prosecution are entitled to full and strict adherence by the Defendant and the holding authority in accordance with Art III and the cited case law. If, for the sake of argument, the Court determines that the State has been placed on notice in accordance with the requirements of Art III, then the 180 14  day trial dead line may apply thus requiring trial by August 7,2013. However, this court may find that good cause has been shown and continue the case. Art III(a) ... provided that for good cause shown in open court, the prisoner or his counsel being present, the court having jurisdiction of the matter may grant any necessary or reasonable continuance. On June 4, 2013 the Defendant appeared in this honorable Court (a Court of proper jurisdiction) (see docket sheet) and in open court and on the record demanded that certain previously filed motions be heard. The Court inquired of the Defendant if he was represented by counsel. Defendant advised that he was not yet represented by counsel and in view of Defendant's request to have court appointed counsel (see attachment #4, page 4), the Court reset the case until such time as appropriate counsel could be appointed. Later on in the day and NOT in open court, the Defendant was appointed the Regional Public Defender, However on June 6, 2013 the Court reconsidered this appointment and subsequently appointed present counsel to represent the Defendant. This Court had no alternative but to appoint counsel for the Defendant and reset the matter. The Defendant had filed adversarial motions that needed to be heard, argued and decided. The Defendant made no request to represent himself either explicitly or implicitly. The Defendant had in fact given notice of his desire to be represented by court appointed counsel through his paperwork filed with the Court. If this Court had permitted the Defendant to proceed without representation, 15  the Court would have clearly run afoul of the long line of cases that require a Defendant to have the availability of competent counsel in a criminal trial. (Powell v. Alabama, 287 U.S. 45 (1932). The notice to the State failed by virtue of missing material in the certificate. The case was continued for good cause shown namely so that the Defendant could consult with court appointed counsel and become prepared for previously filed pre-trial motions. Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Article 51.14, Art. Ill's Constitutionality The State argues in the alternative that Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Article 51.14, Art. III is unconstitutional as violating the Texas Constitution's separation- of-powers provision because it unduly infringes upon the judiciary. See Tex. Const. art.IL Sec. 1). The separation of powers may be violated in one of two ways: (1) when one branch of government assumes or is delegated a power "more properly attached" to another branch or (2) when one branch unduly interferes with another branch so that the other branch cannot effectively exercise its constitutionally assigned powers. Armadillo Bail Bond v. State, 802 S. W. 2d 237, 239 (Tex. Crim.App.1990). The State's position is that Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Article 51.14, Art. III, unduly interferes with the judicial powers of the Waller Criminal District Attorney, specifically by preventing the State of Texas from prosecuting the case against the Defendant, who has been lawfully indicted. (Meshell v. State, 739 16 S. W.2d 246, 253 (Tex.Crim.App. /987)("By establishing the office of the county attorney under Article V, the authors of the Texas Constitution placed county, district and criminal district attorneys within the Judicial department."). The law imposes on the State a strict prohibition from prosecution based on the expiration of a time limit that has no meaningful relationship to evidence or procedure. The deadline of 180 days is completely controlled by the action of the Defendant. Unlike the obligation on the part of the judiciary to set bail in accordance with Code of Criminal Procedure Article 17.151, resulting in a mandatory admission to personal recognizance bond, a violation of Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Article 51.14, Art. III mandates that the indictment be dismissed with prejudice. Id. Armadillo at 240-41 (quoting A. Leo Levin & Anthony G. Amsterdam, Legislative Control Over Judicial Rule-Making: A Problem in Constitutional Revision, 107 U. Pa L. Rev.l,32 (1958)). This requirement that an indictment be dismissed with prejudice bars the judiciary (prosecution) from exercising its exclusive power to act on an indictment, try an indictment to a judge or jury, and have the case decided based on the evidence. Courts have held that certain realms of judicial process are "so fundamental and so necessary to a court, so inherent in its very nature as a court," that they must be entirely free from legislative interference. Id Armadillo at 240- 41. To arbitrarily bar the prosecution from proceeding based on any other factor other than the evidence or matters of Constitutional procedure is an improper 17 infringement on the judicial power to bring, try and render judgment on criminal matters. PRAYER: For the above reasons and law, the State of Texas respectfully prays that the Defendant's motion be denied by this honorable Court. Respectfully Submitted, Frederick A.

This Motion is based upon the Defendant's Sixth Amendment speedy trial guarentee that is binding on the states through the Due Process Clause or the Fourteenth Amendment. Klopfer v. :\'orrh Carolina, 386 U.S. 213. 222-223 (1967). A state is responsible for a defendant's speedy trial rights, even \V'here a defendant is held in federal prison. see: Smith v Hooev, 393 U.S. 374 (1969). This notice would further trigger defendant's request under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers. see: Fex v. Michigan, 507 U.S. 43,113 S.Ct. 1088, 122 L.Ed.2d 406 (1993). WHEREFORE, the defendant prays that the Court initiate all needed and necessary orders and actions required to resolve this matter by trial or settlement in abstentia, including an order for the district attorney/prosecutor to seek temporary custody from federal authorities under lAD provisions, and the dismissal of any outstanding citations, warrants, informations, charges. anoinT ("'{'\",~I~:-.­ presently pending in this jurisdiction, within a reasonable period of time not o jl {' ..-v tJl("~·'\.) . -'I ;Ac\{l (:, J i Respectfully Submitted, ~z V""n~~minique ~tae Lat . / ' Reg.

STATE'S FIRST MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE Now comes the State of Texas, by and through her Waller County Crinrinal District Attorney, Elton R. Mathis, and moves this Court for a continuance in the above styled and numbered cause as provided under Article 29.03 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, and as allowed by Article 51.14 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and would respectfully show: 1. The Defendant, Dominique Dontae Lasker is charged by indictment with Capital Murder and two indictments of Murder in the First Degree alleged to have occurred on or about March 11, 2010 in Waller County, Texas. The indictments were signed on January 27,2011 after a lengthy investigation. 2. The Defendant absconded from the scene, the county, and the State of Texas shortly after the murders. 3. Following the murders the Defendant committed an aggravated bank robbery in California and was apprehended. He was sentenced on the resulting charges on December 16, 2011 in the federal court system. On infonnation and belief the Defendant has been in state and/or federal custody in California since the aggravated bank robbery. 4. The Defendant was returned to this jurisdiction on the above numbered and styled  causes on or about May 24,2013. 5. The Defendant appeared before this Court for the first time on June 4th, 2013 and this Honorable Court appointed counsel from the Regional Public Defender for Capital Cases. 6. The Regional Public Defender refused to accept the appointment, and the Defendant was reassigned court appointed counsel on June 6th, 2013. 7. The Defendant waived arraignment and entered a not guilty plea on July 15th, 2013. 8. The Defendant requested and was granted additional counsel on July 18th, 2013. 9. No discovery of any kind has been requested by counsel for the Defendant until counsel met together at the District Attorney's Office on August 28 th, 2013. 10. No court date has been requested by counsel for the Defendant. There has never been a request for trial or pretrial dates. No trial date has been set by the court. 11. No motions have been filed by counsel with the exception of a request for additional counsel. 12. To the knowledge of the undersigned attorney no request for investigator fees or psychological evaluation has been made by counsel. 13. To the knowledge of the undersigned attorney there has been no request to see and inspect the State's file. 14. Defense counsel has not reviewed any evidence in the possession of the District Attorney and has not reviewed the State's file. 15. On or about June 12, 2013 the elected Criminal District Attorney Elton R. Mathis spoke with defense counsel Frank Blazek over the telephone regarding this case. As a result of that discussion Elton R. Mathis believed that defense counsel was requesting  that the case be put on hold pending time for Frank Blazek to assemble a mitigation packet to present to Elton R. Mathis in an attempt to get Elton R. Mathis to refrain from seeking the death penalty in the capital case. The District Attorney's Office has been actively preparing this case for trial, yet not anticipating a trial date in September 2013. 16. The State's trial case requires the presences of several out of state witnesses from various law enforcement agencies in California and Virginia. Given the present posture of the case, the State will require more time to coordinate and assure those witnesses' presence. 17. The Defense has not yet designated the expert witnesses it expects to call in their case in chief or in sentencing for purposes of mitigation. The State anticipates a significant time necessary to prepare for rebuttal. The State has filed a request for the names and addresses of any such defense experts. 18. The State has filed a motion for the psychological evaluation of the Defendant which has not been heard or completed. 19. The first assistant criminal district attorney is scheduled for hip replacement surgery on September 3rd , 2013. Recovery time is anticipated to be up to eight weeks. This surgery has already been rescheduled once so that the attorney would be able to try The State of Texas v. Taylor McShan. The first assistant has been primarily involved in the investigation and prosecution of this cause. To assign the case to another attorney in the office other than the elected Criminal District Attorney would be a hardship. 20. Defense counsel Blazek in his Motion for Appointment ofAttorney as Co-Defense Counsel indicates that this case is complex and requires more than one attorney. This statement is true on behalf of the State of Texas as well.  21. The State of Texas intends to seek the death penalty in this case. It is anticipated that the jury selection and trial of this case could take four to six weeks or possibly more. 22. The Defendant in this cause faces the death penalty and has only been represented by counsel for approximately 85 days. To proceed to trial at this time or anytime in the near future would be reversible and harmful error. 23. While acknowledging the existence of Article 51.14 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure the undersigned does hereby assert that any provisions therein mandating trial by a date certain are impermissibly restrictive, are overbroad, and violate the separation of powers doctrines of the Texas and!or Federal Constitutions. Whether or not a case is ready for trial is based on numerous factors and cannot be reduced to a simple formula that applies equally to Class C Misdemeanors and Capital Felonies. The detennination of when a case is ready for trial is in the province of the judiciary not the legislature. Counsel would further show that this is the first request for a continuance by the State of Texas. II. This Motion is made in the interest of justice and not for the purpose of delay, but so that justice may be done. A continuance is requested for only as long as is necessary. THEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State of Texas prays thatthis Motion be granted and this cause be set at a later date. 47  v~,J.J.I.I~~ubmitted, onR. a s Criminal District Attorney Waller County, Texas TBN 24014568 645 12th Street Hempstead, Texas 77445 (979) 826-7718 (979) 826-7722 (FAX) NOTICE OF HEARING Please be advised that the foregoing Motion is set for hearing before the 506th Judicial District Court of Waller County, Texas on September 9, 2013 at 4:30 p.m. ~ Elton R.

In support of this motion the State would show the following: 1. The Defendant is charged by indictment with one Capital Murder and two indictments of Murder in the first degree alleged to have occurred on or about March 11, 2010.

The Defendant made statements to Texas Rangers during an interview to the effect that he saw a ghost at the time of the offenses and that he often thinks about hurting and killing other people. 3. The Defendant in correspondence made during his incarceration in California made statements to the effect he feels there might be something "wrong" with him and he wanted his wife to check on the internet with the "Veteran's Court." 4. The Defendant in telephone conversations while incarcerated in California makes mention of a discussion he had with a prison counselor to the effect that he has "questioned himself' on the need for help on mental issues in the past. 5.

The subject evidence in the Brady case was merely mitigating. 2. The State of Texas and its prosecutors have a duty to disclose any evidence suggesting that Defendant is not competent to stand trial. Ex Parte Lewis, 587 S.W.2d 697 (Texas Court Crim App. 1979). 3. In this case Defendant is entitled to relief under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (IADA).

MOTION TO SUPPRESS CONFESSION I TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: Now comes Defendant, DOMINIQUE DONTAE LASKER, by and through his attorneys, Frank Blazek and William Carter, and submits this his Motion to Suppress Confession, and for cause would show the following: 1. Defendant would show that the State intends to offer an alleged confession of the Defendant; that said confession was taken without his attorney being present, in violation of the Defendant's right to have his attorney present to consult with under Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution of the State of Texas and the 6th Amendment of the United States Constitution; that said confession was taken involuntarily from the Defendant in response to threats, in violation of his right to remain silent as protected by Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution of the State of Texas and the 5th Amendment of the United States Constitution; that said confession was taken in violation of his right to due process as protected by the 5th and 6th Amendments of the United States Constitution and the 14th Amendment thereto; and that said confession was taken in violation of his right to due course of law as established by Article I, Section 19 of the Texas Constitution. Admission of said confession would be in violation of Article 38.22 and Article 38.23, Code of Criminal Procedure. 2. Defendant's purported confession is not audible on the tape. The jury would be required to speculate as to the statement actually made by the Defendant. The tape does contain many statements made by law enforcement that characterize the evidence developed in the investigation and relate their account of what statement they purport the Defendant has MOTION TO SUPPRESS CONFESSION PAGE 1 C:\FB\CRIM_ K-O\Lask.r.DD.81 075\1 1-01-1 3704\Suppr.ss.001.wpd  ( made. Such statements by law enforcement on the recording constitute a spealdng offense report and are inadmissible hearsay. To the extent that they are a statement of what they contend the Defendant told them, they constitute a violation of Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 38.22, which requires that' Defendant's statement be recorded, not the officers' verbal account thereof. 3. Defendant is entitled to a hearing on this matter wherein the State should be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any confession which the State intends to offer was lawfully obtained and that the Defendant's rights under the Constitutions and the laws of the State of Texas and the United States were fully protected. Defendant is entitled to such hearing outside the presence of the jury and prior to the trial on this matter. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Defendant would urge this Court to set this hearing prior to trial and that, at the conclusion of that hearing, any conJession or statement by the Defendant, whether written, oral, or otherwise, and the recorded statements by peace officers during the interview wherein the officers recount evidence against the Defendant and state their version of what the D"efendant has told them proffered by the State be suppressed and the State be ordered not to refer to, or introduce, any such confessions or statements by the Defendant in the presence of the jury.

Both Edwards and Jackson had been shot in the head with a firearm. A lengthy investigation ensued whereby it was discovered that Dominique Dontae Lasker was home on leave from the United States Marine Corp during the time that Edwards and Jackson were murdered. Lasker had lived with Edwards and Jackson at times during his childhood. It was also determined through an FBI firearm analysis that a firearm used in a October 30, 2010 bank robbery in California was the same firearm used to . murderEdwards and Jackson on March 10, 2010. The firearm used in the bank robbery was in the possession of Dominique Dontae Lasker. Lasker was interviewed 1  by Texas Rangers while he was being held in California and confessed to the murder of Edwards and Jackson. Lasker was indicted by a Waller County Grand Jury of two counts of murder and one count of Capital Murder on January 27,2011 and although it is not clear from the court's records, the State presumes that a detainer was issued a short time after indictment asking that Lasker be held to stand trial here in Waller County. While the murder charges were pending in Waller County:, Lasker was sentence to one hundred and twenty-one (121) months imprisonment in a Federal penitentiary on or about January 30,2013 for the California bank robbery charges. On July 19t\ 2012 the State received a "Notice and Demand to District Attorney for Trial or Disposition of Warrants, Informations, Detainers or Indictments by Federal Prisoners, " presumably under Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Art. 5l.l4, Art. III. It appears that the motion was received by the Waller County District Attorney's Office via standard U.S. mail directly from Lasker without participation or knowledge of the Federal Prison authorities and not certified mail as required by Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Art. 51.14, Art. III. The motion did not contain the requisite certificate from the warden of the holding authority and in its failure did not contain any of the required information such as date of parole eligibility, good time calculation, decisions of the parole board,. time remaining to be served and time already served by the prisoner. 2 /h7  On August 31, 2012, Waller County requested and received lAD Form V from Ed Perez, an administrator for the Federal holding facility. The State intended to bring Lasker back to Waller County in accordance with Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Art. 51.14, Art. IV. On January 2,2013 the State sent a request to the Warden of the holding authority for temporary custody of Lasker. This request included copies of the indictments and warrants as well as IAD Form V, "Request for TemporaIY Custody." Of note is the inclusion of a signature block for the Judge of this Court on lAD Form V. On January 31, 20 13 (the actual date of receipt is unclear but the letter was presumably written on January 31,2013), Waller County received a response to its request for temporary custody of the inmate advising Waller County that the inmate had waived his thirty day notice to object to the temporary custody. The Warden further advised that yet another form (IAD Form VI, "Evidence of Agent's Authority to Act for Receiving State), would be required along with signatures of the actual agents who would eventually pick up the prisoner. Also attached to the above were IAD Forms "Notice of Untried Indictment", "Placement of Imprisonment", "Certificate of Inmate Status" and "Offer to Deliver Temporary Custody." The effect of these Forms was to make a demand on Waller County, State of Texas to bring the inmate back to Waller County for trial 3 /fv{  in accordance with Article III of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act. This notice was delivered on or about February 8, 2013. It should be noted that the Certificate of Inmate Status was not in compliance with Article III in that (1 )it left blank the date of parole eligibility and (2) left blank any mention of decisions that mayor may not have been made by the parole board concerning the inmate. On April 8, 2013 Waller County received by FAX a copy of the request lAD Form VI from the Federal Warden. On April 17, 2013, Waller County sent lAD Form VI to the Texas lAD administrator, Donna Bell. On May 1,2013, Waller County forwarded on lAD Form VI that had now been signed by the Texas lAD Administrator to the Federal Warden. Lasker was returned to Waller County on May 24, 2013 and has been in Waller County custody since that time. The Defendant's first court date in Waller County was on June 4, 2013. At that time the Defendant informed the Court that there were a number of motions on file and that he wanted a decision on those motions. The Court informed the Defendant that he needed to be represented by counsel. The Defendant had in fact requested in his lAD Form "Placement of Imprisonment," that he be appointed counsel by the requesting Court for all matters preliminary to trial. With that in mind the Court appointed the Regional Public Defender on June 4,2013 and continued the 4  matter until such time as the Regional Public Defender could consult with Lasker and otherwise become prepared to be to heard on the various motions that Lasker had filed. At some point after June 4, 2013 it was determined that the Regional Public Defender could not represent this Defendant. The Court then appointed Mr. Frank Blazek on June 6, 2013. A few days later Mr. William Carter was appointed as co-counsel. After the State met and discussed the case with Mr. Blazak it became apparent that the Defense was not going to initiate any sort of court settings. The State requested a Court date so that certain matters could be heard. On September 9, 2013 the Court heard and granted its second continuance for good cause shown until November 4, 2013 whereby the Defendant waived arraignment and a scheduling order was signed by this Court. APPLICABLE LAW: The IADA is a congressionally-sanctioned compact between the United States and the states. Cuyler v. Adams, 449 U.S. 433, 442, 101 S. Ct. 703, 709, 66 L. Ed. 2d 641 (1981). As stated in Article I of the Act, "the policy of the party states and the purpose of the IADA is to encourage the expeditious and orderly disposition of outstanding charges and detennination of the proper status of any and all detainers based on untried indictments, infom1ations, or complaints." 5  Birdwell v. Skeen, 983 F.2d 1332, 1335 (5th eir. 1993). Consistent with this purpose, the IADA pennits a state to tile a detainer against a defendant residing in a prison in another state, gain temporary custody of the defendant, and prosecute the defendant on the charge that forms the basis of the detainer. u.S. v. Mauro, 436 u.S. 340, 351-53, 98 S. Ct. 1834, 1842-44, 56 L. Ed. 2d 329 (1978). The IADA also provides a mechanism for a person incarcerated in one jurisdiction with charges pending against him in another jurisdiction to be tried on the pending charges before being released from incarceration in the first jurisdiction. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 51.14, Art. I (Vernon 1979). Either the defendant or the jurisdiction where charges are pending may demand that the defendant be tried on the pending charges. Id. Arts.!, III, V. Article III (a) Whenever a person has entered upon a term of imprisonment in a penal or correctional institution of a party state, and whenever during the continuance of the tenn of imprisonment there is pending in any other party state any untried indictment, information, or complaint on the basis of which a detainer has been lodged against the prisoner, he shall be brought to trial within 180 days after he shall have caused to be delivered to the prosecuting officer and the appropriate court of the prosecuting officer's jurisdiction written notice of the place of his imprisonment and his request for a final disposition to be made of the indictment, information or complaint. .. The [AD also states that the prisoner's request in Article [II (a): Shall be accompanied by a certificate of the appropriate official having custody of the prisoner, stating the tenn of commitment under 6 /1 f  which the prisoner is being held, the time already served, the time remaining to be served on the sentence, the amount of good time earned, the time of parole eligibility of the prisoner, and any decision of the state parole agency relating to the prisoner. ARTICLE V. (c) If the appropriate authority shall refuse or fail to accept temporary custody of said person, or in the event that an action on the indictment, information, or complaint on the basis of which the detainer has been lodged is not brought to trial within the period provided in Article HI or Article IV hereof, the appropriate court of the jurisdiction where the indictment, information, or complaint has been pending shall enter an order dismissing the same with prejudice, and any detainer based thereon shall cease to be of any force or effect. To request final disposition under article III, the defendant must cause "to be delivered to the prosecuting officer and the appropriate court of the prosecuting officer's jurisdiction written notice of the place of his imprisonment and his request for a final disposition to be made of the indictment." ld. art. IH(a) (emphasis added). The IADA provides that a defendant can perform this requirement by sending the written notice and request for final disposition to the official having custody of him, who would then forward it to the appropriate prosecuting official and court by registered (certified mail, return receipt requested). /d. art. III(b). The Supreme Court has held that the I80-day provision "does not commence untirthe prisoner's request for final disposition of the charges against him has actually been delivered to the court and prosecuting officer of the 7 /7;2- jurisdiction that lodged the detainer against him." Fex v. Michigan, 507 U.S. 43, 113 S. Ct. 1085, 1091, 122 L. Ed. 2d 406 (1993); State v. Powell, 971 S.W.2d 577, 580 (Tex.App.--Dallas 1998, no pet.). The inmate bears the burden of demonstrating compliance with the formal procedural requirements of Article III." Morganfield v. State:. 919 SW2d 731,734 (et. App. - San Antonio [4 th Dist] 1996), U.S. v. Henson, 945 F.2d 430, 434 (1st eir. 1991); Bryant v. State, 819 S.W.2d 927, 930-31 (Tex.App.--Houston [14th Dist.] 1991, pet. refd). The failure of another state to follow the lAD does not require dismissal of the Texas [receiving state] charges." Bryant v. State, at 929. Delay caused by holding jurisdiction tolled until the receiving State receives the completed request form. Id. at 931. In Bryant, the court found that when the holding jurisdiction failed to send Bryant to Texas because of pending charges in other jurisdictions, that time the defendant was unavailable to Texas should not be taxed against Texas because Bryant was unavailable to her. At 931. The denial of a defendant's motion to dismiss an indictment under the IADA is a question of law reviewed de novo and the factual findings underlying that decision are reviewed on a clearly erroneous standard. United States v. Hall, 974 F.2d 120t 1204 (9th Cir.1992). 8 /73  A prisoner seeking to benefit from the statutory provisions [of the Uniform Mandatory Disposition of Retainers Act] must tirst meet the burden of compliance with the 'agreement.' I'vlcCallum v. State, 407 So.2d 865, 869 (Ala.Cr.App.1981). There must be strict compliance by the prisoner with the requirements . . . , otherwise, a conniving prisoner could finagle procedures to frustrate efforts of the prosecution to give the prisoner the benefit of the Interstate Compact on Detainers'), and attempts to deal directly with officials in the receiving state, he must satisfy the additional requirements of the agreement which would normally be executed by officials in the sending state." McCallum v. State, supra, at 869." Seymore v. State, 429 So.2d 1188,1193-4 (Ala.Cr.App.1983). fVhitley v. State, 392 So.2d 1220, 1224 (Ala.Cr.App.1980), cert. denied, 392 So.2d 1225 (Ala.1981 ). If a Defendant takes it upon himself to notify the prosecutor and the Court directly, he is responsible for seeing that the notice is sent in the form required by the lAD. If Defendant's correspondences never properly comply with the notice requirements of the lAD so as to constitute "the required request," the 180 day period does not begin to run until Texas authorities have received the completed request form. Burton v. State, 805 S.W.2d at 575. When an inmate fails to serve the court where charges are pending, then he has failed to comply with the requirements of Art. III and the clock does not start ticking against the receiving 9 /71 jurisdiction. State v. Votta, 299 SW3d 130, 137 eCt. Crim App 2009). Article III, section (a) of the IADA states that the prisoner's request must be "accompanied by a certificate of the appropriate official having custody of the prisoner stating the term of commitment ... the time already served, the time remaining ... on the sentence, the amount of good time earned, the time of parole eligibility... and any decision of the state parole agency relating to the prisoner." TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 51.14, Art. IIl(a) (West 2006). And, should that information not be forwarded with the request for final disposition, the 180 day time line remains dormant. Lara v. State, 909 S.W.2d 615 (Tex. App.,·Fort Worth 1995, pet. refd), State v. Garcia, 2011 Tex. App. LEXIS 4272 (Tex. App. Amarillo, 2012). In a long line of cases that includes Pm-veil v. Alabama, 287 U.S. 45 (1932), Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U,S. 458 (1938), and Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335 (1963), this Court has recognized that the Sixth Amendment right to counsel exists, and is needed, in order to protect the fundamental right to a fair trial. The Constitution guarantees a fair trial through the Due Process Clauses, but it defines the basic elements of a fair trial largely through the several provisions of the Sixth Amendment. ARGUMENT: This case has become convoluted for a couple of reasons. The 10 /}5  Defendant allegedly committed the murders in Waller County on or about March 10, 2010 and fled the jurisdiction. He did not become a suspect until facts became known about a bank robbery and his arrest in California on October 30, 2010. From that time until December 16, 2011, the Defendant was being held in California for trial. He was sentenced on December 16, 2011 and was committed for one hundred twenty-one months on January 12, 2012 to a Federal Penitentiary in California. The Defendant was indicted on the Waller County murder charges a couple weeks later on January 27, 2011 and presumably a detainer was placed on the Defendant shortly thereafter. The Waller County District Attorney's Office entered into a number of informal telephone conversations through the Waller County Sheliff s Office with Mr. Ed Perez at the Victorville Federal Penitentiary in California about what was needed to get the Defendant back to our jurisdiction for trial. Then on July 19, 2012 the Waller County District Attorney's Office received through regular mail attachment Number 1. The document: is entitled "Notice and Demand to District Attorney/Prosecutor for Trial or Disposition of Warrant, Informations, Detainers or Indictments by Federal Prisoner" and attached to that motion was what appears to be some sort of sentence monitoring sheet. It further appears that the document was sent by the Defendant without any participation or notice to the warden or the prison authorities there in California. 11  This is one of the documents that the Defendant claims in effect to be a notice under Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Article 51.14, Art. III, demanding trial within 180 days of receipt of the notice by the Court and the District Attorney. If such were the case, then trial would have had to be commenced on or before January 16, 2013. Another consequence of this notice, if it were effective, is that: it in effect waives the right of the Defendant to insist on the formal extradition process and renders consent to be taken back to the jurisdiction seeking the Defendant for trial. There are a number of problems with this Defendant's attempt at giving an Art. III notice. The notice has a few "shalls" in its wording. First, in Art.III (b) the notice "shall" be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. This requirement among other things gives both the prosecuting attorney and the Count some idea of just when the 180 days begins to run and does not leave that important date up to the vagrancies of in-office date stamping, claims of in-office routing problems and the like. The second "shall" in Art.III (a) reqUIres that a "certificate" be included by and from the warden of the holding facility. The Article goes on to say that there are at a least five pieces of information this certificate shall contain: 1) the term of commitment, 2) the time already served, 3) the time remaining to be served on the sentence, 4) the amount of good time earned, 5) the time of parole eligibility of the prisoner and 6) any decision of the state parole agency relation to 12 /77  the prisoner. All of this infonnation is vital to the decision making process that may come into play by the trying Court and to the prosecutor. Another important concern that comes into play in this case is that the request by the Defendant through the warden of the holding authority gets the warden into the information loop, the import of which will be discussed below. It is clear from the case law cited above that a failure on the warden OR the Defendant to strictly comply with the Interstate Agreement requirements in Article III results in no notice to the trying Court and the prosecutor. (See Fex, Powell, Morganfield, Henson, Bryant, McCullum, Seymore, Whitley, ( .. the 180 day period does not begin to run until Texas authorities have received the complete request form .. .}Burton, Lara, Garcia. The failure of the Defendant to make his request through the warden caused the prison authorities to be in the dark about the Defendants intentions concerning returning back to Waller County. The warden did not know that Defendant had made a demand to be returned, so that when answering inquiries from Waller County about the Defendant's return, the holding authorities advised Waller County would have to make our request in accordance with Art. IV. This procedure requires the filing out of various forms and the obtaining of various signatures before Art. V (also requiring additional forms) could be triggered and the Defendant could eventually be picked up. Art. V also triggers different time 13 /7f  requirements. If the Defendant were obtained via Art. IV, then his trial had to commence within 120 days of his arrival back in the requesting jurisdiction unless good cause was shown for the Court to continue the case. Waller County began this procedure beginning informally after we detennined that the Defendant had been arrested in California. It continued more formally after he was sentenced in California in January 2013. and continued November 2012 (attachment #2) through May 2013 (attachment #3). On February 8, 2013 Waller County and the Court received another Art.III request (attachment #4) by certified mail this time through the warden of the holding authority. This demand contained a cover letter from the warden, "Notice of Untried Indictment," "Placement of Imprisonment," and a "Certificate of Inmate Status." The Certificate, however, did not contain the full information required by Art III in that it omitted 1) the date of parole eligibility of the prisoner and, 2) the decisions of the U.S. Parole Commission relating to the prisoner. It is the position of the State that his February 2013 "notice" is likewise ineffective for the same reasons stated above. The Court and the prosecution are entitled to full and strict adherence by the Defendant and the holding authority in accordance with Art III and the cited case law. If, for the sake of argument, the Court detennines that the State has been placed on notice in accordance with the requirements of Art III, then the 180 14  day trial dead line may apply thus requiring trial by August 7,2013. However, this court may find that good cause has been shown and continue the case. Art III(a) ... provided that for good cause shown in open court, the prisoner or his counsel being present, the court having jurisdiction of the matter may grant any necessary or reasonable continuance. On June 4, 2013 the Defendant appeared in this honorable Court (a Court of proper jurisdiction) (see docket sheet) and in open court and on the record demanded that certain previously filed motions be heard. The Court inquired of the Defendant if he was represented by counsel. Defendant advised that he was not yet represented by counsel and in view of Defendant's request to have court appointed counsel (see attachment #4, page 4), the Court reset the case until such time as appropriate counsel could be appointed. Later on in the day and NOT in open court, the Defendant was appointed the Regional Public Defender, However on June 6, 2013 the Court reconsidered this appointment and subsequently appointed present counsel to represent the Defendant. This Court had no alternative but to appoint counsel for the Defendant and reset the matter. The Defendant had filed adversarial motions that needed to be heard, argued and decided. The Defendant made no request to represent himself either explicitly or implicitly. The Defendant had in fact given notice of his desire to be represented by court appointed counsel through his paperwork filed with the Court. If this Court had permitted the Defendant to proceed without representation, 15 /f tJ  the Court would have clearly run afoul of the long line of cases that require a Defendant to have the availability of competent counsel in a criminal trial. (Powell v. Alabama, 287 U.S. 45 (1932). The notice to the State failed by virtue of missing material in the certificate. The case was continued for good cause shown namely so that the Defendant could consult with court appointed counsel and become prepared for previously filed pre-trial motions. Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Article 51.14, Art. Ill's Constitutionality The State argues in the alternative that Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Article 51.14, Art. III is unconstitutional as violating the Texas Constitution's separation- of-powers provision because it unduly infringes upon the judiciary. See Tex. Canst. art.IL Sec. 1). The separation of powers may be violated in one of two ways: (1) when one branch of government assumes or is delegated a power "more properly attached" to another branch or (2) when one branch unduly interferes with another branch so that the other branch cannot effectively exercise its constitutionally assigned powers. Armadillo Bail Bond v. State, 802 S. W 2d 237, 239 (Tex. Crim.App.1990). The State's position is that Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Article 51.14, Art. III, unduly interferes with the judicial powers of the Waller Criminal District Attorney, specifically by preventing the State of Texas from prosecuting the case against the Defendant, who has been lawfully indicted. (Meshell v. State, 739 16 / tl S. W2d 246, 253 (Tex. Crim.App. J987)("By establishing the office of the county attorney under Article V, the authors of the Texas Constitution placed county, district and criminal district attorneys within the Judicial department"). The law imposes on the State a strict prohibition from prosecution based on the expiration of a time limit that has no meaningful relationship to evidence or procedure. The deadline of 180 days is completely controlled by the action of the Defendant. Unlike the obligation on the part of the judiciary to set bail in accordance with Code of Criminal Procedure Article 17.151, resulting in a mandatory admission to personal recognizance bond, a violation of Tex. Code Crim. Proc., Article 51.14, Art. III mandates that the indictment be dismissed with prejudice. [d. Armadillo at 240-41 (quoting A. Leo Levin & Anthony G. Amsterdam, Legislative Control Over Judicial Rule-Making: A Problem in Constitutional Revision, 107 U. Pa L. Rev.1,32 (1958)). This requirement that an indictment be dismissed with prejudice bars the judiciary (prosecution) from exercising its exclusive power to act on an indictment, try an indictment to a judge or jury, and have the case decided based on the evidence. Courts have held that certain realms of judicial process are "so fundamental and so necessary to a court, so inherent in its very nature as a court," that they must be entirely free from legislative interference. Id Armadillo at 240- 41. To arbitrarily bar the prosecution from proceeding based on any other factor other than the evidence or matters of Constitutional procedure is an improper 17 infringement on the judicial power to bring, try and render judgment on criminal matters. PRAYER: For the above reasons and law, the State of Texas respectfully prays that the Defendant's motion be denied by this honorable Court. Respectfully Submitted, ---- Frederick A.

Mathis, and moves this Court for a continuance in the above styled and numbered cause as provided under Article 29.03 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, and as allowed by Article 51.14 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and would respectfully show: 1. The Defendant, Dominique Dontae Lasker is charged by indictment with Capital Murder and two indictments of Murder in the First Degree alleged to have occurred on or about March 11,2010 in Waller County, Texas. The indictments were signed on January 27,2011 after a lengthy investigation. 2. The Defendant absconded from the scene, the county, and the State of Texas shortly after the murders. 3. Following the murders the Defendant committed an aggravated bank robbery in California and was apprehended. He was sentenced on the resulting charges on December 16, 2011 in the federal court system. On information and belief the Defendant has been in state and/or federal custody in California since the aggravated bank robbery. 4. The Defendant was returned to this jurisdiction on the above numbered and styled  causes on or about May 24,2013. 5. The Defendant appeared before this Court for the first time on June 4th, 2013 and this Honorable Court appointed counsel from the Regional Public Defender for Capital Cases. 6. The Regional Public Defender refused to accept the appointment, and the Defendant was reassigned court appointed counsel on June 6th, 2013. 7. The Defendant waived arraignment and entered a not guilty plea on July 15 th, 2013. 8. The Defendant requested and was granted additional counsel on July 18th, 2013. 9. No discovery of any kind has been requested by counsel for the Defendant until counsel met together at the District Attorney's Office on August 28 th, 2013. 10. No court date has been requested by counsel for the Defendant. There has never been a request for trial or pretrial dates. No trial date has been set by the court. 11. No motions have been filed by counsel with the exception of a request for additional counsel. 12. To the knowledge of the undersigned attorney no request for investigator fees or psychological evaluation has been made by counsel. 13. To the knowledge of the undersigned attorney there has been no request to see and inspect the State's file. 14. Defense counsel has not reviewed any evidence in the possession of the District Attorney and has not reviewed the State's file. 15. On or about June 12,2013 the elected Criminal District Attorney Elton R. Mathis spoke with defense counsel Frank Blazek over the telephone regarding this case. As a result of that discussion Elton R. Mathis believed that defense counsel was requesting  that the case be put on hold pending time for Frank Blazek to assemble a mitigation packet to present to Elton R. Mathis in an attempt to get Elton R. Mathis to refrain from seeking the death penalty in the capital case. The District Attorney's Office has been actively preparing this case for trial, yet not anticipating a trial date in September 2013. 16. The State's trial case requires the presences of several out of state witnesses from various law enforcement agencies in California and Virginia. Given the present posture of the case, the State will require more time to coordinate and assure those witnesses' presence. 17. The Defense has not yet designated the expert witnesses it expects to call in their case in chief or in sentencing for purposes of mitigation. The State anticipates a significant time necessary to prepare for rebuttal. The State has filed a request for the names and addresses of any such defense experts. 18. The State has filed a motion for the psychological evaluation of the Defendant which has not been heard or completed. 19. The first assistant criminal district attorney is scheduled for hip replacement surgery on September 3rd, 2013. Recovery time is anticipated to be up to eight weeks. This surgery has already been rescheduled once so that the attorney would be able to try The State of Texas v. Taylor McShan. The first assistant has been primarily involved in the investigation and prosecution of this cause. To assign the case to another attorney in the office other than the elected Criminal District Attorney would be a hardship. 20. Defense counsel Blazek in his Motion for Appointment ofAttorney as Co-Defense Counsel indicates that this case is complex and requires more than one attorney. This statement is true on behalf of the State of Texas as well.  ·i 21. The State of Texas intends to seek the death penalty in this case. It is anticipated that the jury selection and trial of this case could take four to six weeks or possibly more. 22. The Defendant in this cause faces the death penalty and has only been represented by counsel for approximately 85 days. To proceed to trial at this time or any time in the near future would be reversible and harmful error. 23. While acknowledging the existence of Article 51.14 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure the undersigned does hereby assert that any provisions therein mandating trial by a date certain are impennissibly restrictive, are overbroad, and violate the separation of powers doctrines of the Texas andlor Federal Constitutions. Whether or not a case is ready for trial is based on numerous factors and cannot be reduced to a simple fonnula that applies equally to Class C Misdemeanors and Capital Felonies. The determination of when a case is ready for trial is in the province of the judiciary not the legislature. Counsel would further show that this is the first request for a continuance by the State of Texas. II. This Motion is made in the interest of justice and not for the purpose of delay, but so that justice may be done. A continuance is requested for only as long as is necessary. THEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State of Texas prays that this Motion be granted and this cause be set at a later date.

In support of this motion the State would show the following: 1. The Defendant is charged by indictment with one Capital Murder and two indictments of Murder in the first degree alleged to have occurred on or about March 11, 2010. Issues of mitigation may be and will likely be at issue during the course of the Defendant's trial and a psychological examination would aid the Court or jury in any determination it may be asked to make concerning competency and matters of sentencing. 2. The Defendant made statements to Texas Rangers during an interview to the effect that he saw a ghost at the time of the offenses and that he often thinks about hurting and killing other people. 3. The Defendant in correspondence made during his incarceration in California made statements to the effect he feels there might be something "wrong" with him and he wanted his wife to check on the internet with the "Veteran's Court." 4. The Defendant in telephone conversations while incarcerated in California makes mention of a discussion he had with a prison counselor to the effect that he has "questioned himself' on the need for help on mental issues in the past. 5. The Defendant during a Court appearance before this Court 51  demonstrated in his demeanor a lack of understanding of the proceedings when this Court inquired into his desire to have court- appointed counsel, insisting instead that he wanted to have a ruling on an unrelated motion made pro se to the Court. The State of Texas reasonably believes that the above behavior warrants an expert's determination of the Defendants competency to stand trial. ~SUbnrltt: Elton R.

N -1::;0 rTl A )< c.n > en STATE'S FIRST MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE' Now comes the State of Texas, by and through her Waller County Assistant Criminal District Attorney, Frederick A. Edwards, and moves this Court for a continuance in the above styled and numbered cause as provided under Article 29.03 of the Texas Code o/Criminal Procedure, and as allowed by Article 51.14 ofthe Texas Code o/Criminal Procedure and would respectfully show: , 1. The Defendant, Dominique Dontae Lasker is charged by indictment with Capital Murder and two indictments of Murder in the First Degree alleged to have occurred on or about March 11,2010 in Waller County, Texas. The indictments were signed on January 27, 2011 after a lengthy investigation. 2. The Defendant absconded from the scene, the county, and the State of Texas shortly after the murders. 3. Following the murders the Defendant committed an aggravated bank robbery in California and was apprehended. He was sentenced on the resulting charges on December 16, 2011 in the federal court system. On infonnation and belief the Defendant has been in state and/or federal custody in California since the aggravated bank robbery. 4. The Defendant was returned to this jurisdiction on the above numbered and styled  causes on or about May 24,2013. 5. The Defendant appeared before this Court for the first time on June 4th, 2013 and this Honorable Court appointed counsel from the Regional Public Defender for Capital Cases. 6. The Regional Public Defender refused to accept the appointment, and the Defendant was reassigned court appointed counsel on June 6th , 2013. 7. The Defendant waived arraignment and entered a not guilty plea on July 15 th , 2013. 8. The Defendant requested and was granted additional counsel on July 18th , 2013. 9. No discovery of any kind has been requested by counsel for the Defendant until counsel met together at the District Attorney's Office on August 28 th , 2013. 10. No court date has been requested by counsel for the Defendant. There has never been a request for trial or pretrial dates. No trial date has been set by the court. 11. No motions have been filed by counsel with the exception of a request for additional counseL 12. To the knowledge of the undersigned attorney no request for investigator fees or psychological evaluation has been made by counsel. 13. To the knowledge of the undersigned attorney there has been no request to see and inspect the State's file. 14. Defense counsel has not reviewed any evidence in the possession of the District Attorney and has not reviewed the State's file. 15. On or about June 12,2013 the elected Criminal District Attorney Elton R. Mathis spoke with defense counsel Frank Blazek over the telephone regarding this case. As a result of that discussion Elton R. Mathis believed that defense counsel was requesting  that the case be put on hold pending time for Frank Blazek to assemble a mitigation packet to present to Elton R. Mathis in an attempt to get Elton R. Mathis to refrain from seeking the death penalty in the capital case. The District Attorney's Office has been actively preparing this case for trial, yet not anticipating a trial date in September 2013. 16. The State's trial case requires the presences of several out of ~ate witnesses from various law enforcement agencies in California and Virginia. Given the present posture of the case, the State will require more time to coordinate and assure those witnesses' presence. 17. The Defense has not yet designated the expert witnesses it expects to call in their case in chief or in sentencing for purposes of mitigation. The State anticipates a significant time necessary to prepare for rebuttal. The State has filed a request for the names and '. addresses of any such defense experts. 18. The State has filed a motion for the psychological evaluation of the Defendant which has not been heard or completed. 19. The undersigned attorney is scheduled for hip replacement surgery on September 3rd , 2013. Recovery time is anticipated to be up to eight weeks. This surgery has already been rescheduled once so that the undersigned attorney would be able to try The State of Texas v. Taylor McShan. The undersigned attorney has been primarily involved in the investigation and prosecution of this cause. To assign the case to another attorney in the office other than the elected Criminal District Attorney would be a hardship. 20. Defense counsel Blazek in his Motion for Appointment ofAttorney as Co-Defense Counsel indicates that this case is complex and requires more than one attorney. This statement is true on behalf of the State of Texas as well.  21. The State of Texas intends to seek the death penalty in this case. It is anticipated that the jury selection and trial of this case could take four to six weeks or possibly more. 22. The Defendant in this cause faces the death penalty and has only been represented by counsel for approximately 85 days. To proceed to trial at this time or any time in the near future would be reversible and harmful error. 23. While acknowledging the existence of Article 51.14 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure the undersigned does hereby assert that any provisions therein mandating trial by a date certain are impermissibly restrictive, are overbroad, and violate the separation of powers doctrines of the Texas andlor Federal Constitutions. Whether or not a case is ready for trial is based on numerous factors and cannot be reduced to a simple formula that applies equally to Class C Misdemeanors and Capital Felonies. The determination of when a case is ready for trial is in the providence of the judiciary not the legislature. Counsel would further show that this is the first request for a continuance by the State of Texas. II. This Motion is made in the interest of justice and not for the purpose of delay, but so that justice may be done. A continuance is requested for only as long as is necessary. , THEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State of Texas prays that this Motion be granted and this cause be set at a later date. 57 Assistant District Attorney Waller County, Texas TBN 06435100 645 1ih Street Hempstead, Texas 77445 (979) 826-7718 (979) 826-7722 (FAX)  11-01-13703, 11-01-13704 and 11-01-13705 THE STATE OF TEXAS § IN THE 506th DISTRICT v. § COURT OF ~ DOMINIQUE DONTAE LASKER § WALLER COUNTY, TEXAS AFFIDAVIT BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority on this day personally appeared Frederick A.

It should be noted that the definition of favorable evidence is very broad and includes evidence that is mitigating, even if it does not exculpate. The subject evidence in the Bracry case was merely mitigating. 2. The State of Texas and its prosecutors have a duty to disclose any evidence suggesting that Defendant is nO,t competent to stand trial. Ex Parte Lewis, 587 S.W.2d 697 (Texas Court Crim App. 1979). 3. In this case Defendant is entitled to relief under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (IADA). Art. 51.14 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.

The State of Texas obtained an indictment for Capital Murder in this cause in January, 2011. Waller County placed a detainer concerning this cause on Defendant while he was serving time in a federal prison. Defendant has twice requested a final disposition to the indictment which was the basis of the detainer under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (IADA), Art. 51.14 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Such request also demanded a speedy trial under the constitutional provisions of the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. 2. More than 180 days have passed since the District Clerk and the Prosecutor received Defendant's written notice and request. The District Clerk of Waller County received the request on July 16,2012. The District Clerk of Waller County received a second such request on February 8, 2013. The District Attorney of Waller County received the two requests on or about July 16,2012, and February 8,2013, as well. The second request was properly transmitted by and through the warden of the federal prison facility in which Defendant was incarcerated. FIRST AMENDED MOTION TO DISMISS PAGE 1 C:\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lallker.DD,flI075\ll-OI-13705\Mntinn to Dismiss.002.wpd ')5  3. No delay has been sought by the Defendant. The Court has not found that good cause exists for any delay prior to the passing of 180 days. No trial has been commenced despite the passage of over 180 days. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 51.14, Article V § (c) ("in the event that an action on the indictment ... on the basis of which the detainer has been lodged is not brought to trial within the period provided in ... Article IV hereof, the appropriate court of the jurisdiction where the indictment . . . has been pending shall enter an order dismissing the same with prejudice, and any detainer based thereon shall cease to be of any force or effect.") Davis v. State, 345 S.W.3d 71,75 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011). If the 180-day time period set by Art. III(a) of the IADA began running on February 8, 2013, trial should have commenced on or before August 7, 2013. If that period began running on July 16, 2012, commencement of trial should have been on or before January 14,2013. 4. Defendant is entitled to have the cause dismissed under both the IADA and federal constitutional right to a speedy trial. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant prays that this Court will Order the indictment herein be dismissed with prejudice.

MOTION TO SUPPRESS CONFESSION ~ if:: it' TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: Now comes Defendant, DOMINIQUE DONTAE LASKER, by and through his attorneys, Frank Blazek and William Carter, and submits this his Motion to Suppress Confession, and for cause would show the following: 1. Defendant would show that the State intends to offer an alleged confession of the Defendant; that said confession was taken without his attorney being present, in violation of the Defendant's right to have his attorney present to consult with under Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution of the State of Texas and the 6th Amendment of the United States Constitution; that said confession was taken involuntarily from the Defendant in response to threats, in violation of his right to remain silent as protected by Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution of the State of Texas and the 5th Amendment of the United States Constitution; that said confession was taken in violation of his right to due process as protected by the 5th and 6th Amendments of the United States Constitution and the 14th Amendment thereto; and that said confession was taken in violation of his right to due course of law as established by Article I, Section 19 of the Texas Constitution. Admission of said confession would be in violation of Article 38.22 and Article 38.23, Code of Criminal Procedure. 2. Defendant's purported confession is not audible on the tape. The jury would be required to speculate as to the statement actually made by the Defendant. The tape does contain many statements made by law enforcement that characterize the evidence developed in the investigation and relate their account of what statement they purport the Defendant has MOTION TO SUPPRESS CONFESSION PAGE 1 C:\FB\CRIM_K-O\Lasker.DD.B1 075\11-0 1-13705\Suppress.001.wpd  ( made. Such statements by law enforcement on the recording constitute a speaking offense report and are inadmissible hearsay. To the extent that they are a statement of what they contend the Defendant told them, they constitute a violation of Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 38.22, which requires that Defendant's statement be recorded, not the officers' verbal account thereof. 3. Defendant is entitled to a hearing on this matter wherein the State should be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any confession which the State intends to offer was lawfully obtained and that the Defendant's rights under the Constitutions and the laws of the State of Texas and the United States were fully protected. Defendant is entitled to such hearing outside the presence of the jury and prior to the trial on this matter. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Defendant would urge this Court to set this hearing prior to trial and that, at the conclusion of that hearing, any confession or statement by the Defendant, whether written, oral, or otherwise, and the recorded statements by peace officers during the interview wherein the officers recount evidence against the Defendant and state their version of what the Defendant has told them proffered by the State be suppressed and the State be ordered not to refer to, or introduce, any such confessions or statements by the Defendant in the presence of the jury.

On February II, 2014, a hearing was held in this Court concerning Defendant's First Amended Motion to Dismiss. In that motion Defendant argued that the State had violated the 180-day rule of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (IADA). That rule requires the State commence the trial of the charge within 180 days of receiving a request for speedy disposition of a detainer. Tex. Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 51.14, Art. III (a). At the February hearing, the State argued that the two requests for speedy disposition made by Defendant were deficient and that the 180-day rule did not apply, but that the 120-day rule of Art. IV (c) of the IADA applied. This motion is intended to make clear that, assuming arguendo that the 120-day rule applied, Defendant is still entitled to a dismissal under the lADA. 2. At the February hearing the following facts were established by stipulation, by clear documentation in the Cour:t's file or the transcription of notes from the pretrial hearings: a. Defendant was indicted in this cause on January 27, 20 II.

Defendant was sentenced to federal prison on December 16, 2011, on an unrelated charge. c. While in the federal prison and with a detainer lodged against him for this offense Defendant filed a 'first request for speedy disposition which was received by the Court on July 16, 2012, and the District Attorney on July 19, 2012. d. While in the federal prison and with a detainer lodged against him for this offense Defendant filed a second request for speedy disposition which was received by the Court and the District Attorney on February 8,2013. The second request was mailed by certified mail. e. The State of Texas acquired Defendant's presence in Waller County on May 24, 2013. f. On June 4,2013, Defendant appeared in Court and was appointed counsel after his indigency was determined. The Defendant informed the Court that he had motions on file and wanted them to be heard. The Court informed him they were not scheduled to be heard at that time and that he needed to consult with his attorney before proceeding. g. The next court date was September 9,2014. At that hearing Defendant invoked his rights to a speedy trial under the IADA. On that day the Court granted the State's motion for continuance based on the delay in getting the Defendant from the federal authorities, the seriousness of the charge, the availability of providing adequate and competent counsel and the complexity of the case.

If either of Defendant's requests for speedy disposition is deemed sufficient, then the 180-day rule applies and Defendant is entitled to a dismissal because the 180 days lapsed before the continuance was granted. 4. Assuming arguendo that both requests are deficient, then the 120-day rule applies. Defendant is still entitled to a dismissal because the continuance was not granted for good cause. A trial did not commence within 120 days of his arrival. 5. Defendant believes it was necessary to file this motion because, although the 120- day rule was invoked on September 9, 2013, Counsel for Defendant only invoked the 180-day rule at the February 11, 2014 hearing. Counsel did not want to waive any right to a dismissal for violation of the 120-day rule should it be determined that 180-day rule was not applicable. 6. Defendant believes that it is appropriate for the Court to rule on this motion by submission. The relevant facts are clearly developed in the record and the prior court hearings have been transcribed for review. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant prays that this Court will Order the indictment herein be dismissed with prejudice.

This is 4 13703, 13704, 13705; State of Texas v. Dominique Dontae 5 Lasker. 6 Come right up here, Mr. Lasker. Well, 7 Mr. Lasker, we are here today primarily to just get some 8 preliminary matters done. I want to confirm you are, in 9 fact, Dominique -- is it Dontae -- Lasker? 10 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. 11 THE COURT: Mr. Lasker, you are charged with 12 capital murder in these cases. And what we are here to do 13 today is primarily make sure that you have representation. 14 Do you have an attorney, sir? 15 THE DEFENDANT: No, sir. 16 THE COURT: Do you have the ability to hire an 17 attorney? 18 THE DEFENDANT: No, sir. 19 THE COURT: All right. What we have -- now 20 you have been in custody for some time; is that correct? 21 THE DEFENDANT: (Nods head up and down). 22 THE COURT: I have to have a yes or no. It is 23 on the record. 24 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. 25 THE COURT: In making the assignment of an  5 1 attorney, Waller County uses what is called the Regional 2 Capital Defender's Project. You will be assigned a 3 two-person capital defense team. And that will consist of 4 Mr. Ronnie Wooten and Ms. Mary Conn. They will be contacting 5 you within the next two or three days. And once we get that 6 done, we will be able to get your case started and moving 7 forward; start taking care of the situation. 8 Mr. Edwards, for the State do you have 9 anything to offer at this time? 10 MR. EDWARDS: Not at this time, Your Honor. 11 THE COURT: All right, sir. Mr. Lasker, we 12 are not going to do the formal arraignment because you are 13 not represented by an attorney and you need to be represented 14 by an attorney in order to get that done. Do you have any 15 further questions, sir? 16 THE DEFENDANT: I need a copy of my 17 indictment and a copy of my docket. 18 THE COURT: All right. Mr. Lasker, there are 19 actually three indictments. Mr. Bailiff, if you'd hand this 20 to the defendant. And what was the other matter that you 21 asked for, sir? 22 THE DEFENDANT: Docket. 23 THE COURT: There actually is no docket 24 entries that have been made at this time. The only thing we 25 have is literally this piece of paper where your name is on  6 1 it that shows that you are here in court today. The court 2 reporter is taking down what we are doing today. So that 3 will consist of the only thing we have currently on the 4 docket. 5 THE DEFENDANT: So what happens to the motions 6 that I sent in? 7 THE COURT: Sir? 8 THE DEFENDANT: I sent in motions. 9 THE COURT: Well, until you are represented by 10 an attorney, I think it would be in your best interest we not 11 have a hearing on those motions. 12 THE DEFENDANT: I want to get heard on those 13 motions. 14 THE COURT: Then we will see what we can do 15 about getting it scheduled. We don't have those motions 16 scheduled right now with proper notices and things such as 17 that, but we will get that -- those attorneys to you and they 18 will be contacting you soon. 19 THE DEFENDANT: So why isn't there an entry 20 for the motions? 21 THE COURT: Sir, I have the file. And I do 22 see that there have been matters that you filed on your own 23 behalf. We are not here to do that today because you are not 24 represented by an attorney. The charges that have been 25 alleged against you are extremely serious. You need to have  7 1 an attorney. And as soon as you have an attorney then we 2 will start taking care of those motions. 3 THE DEFENDANT: Still should be entries on 4 those motions. 5 THE COURT: I'm sorry? 6 THE DEFENDANT: Still should be entries on 7 those motions. 8 THE COURT: I cannot hear you, sir. 9 THE DEFENDANT: There should be entries on 10 those motions. 11 THE COURT: Sir, I have already told you we 12 are not hearing those motions today. We are going to take 13 care of them whenever you have representation. I can't make 14 it any more clearly than that. 15 THE DEFENDANT: It is really not clear to me 16 why there is no entries for the motions I sent in. 17 THE COURT: The State of Texas has pretty 18 fairly established rules, procedures, Code of Criminal 19 Procedure, Rules of Evidence, and all of those matters fully 20 in compliance with the rulings of the Supreme Court of the 21 United States. 22 I assure you will be availed every one of 23 those rights and protections when you have an attorney. And 24 I will be assigning that attorney or those attorneys today. 25 That is what the purpose of today's hearing was, to make sure  8 1 that you have adequate counsel, guidance and support for the 2 serious matters that you are facing. 3 Beyond those motions, do you have any further 4 questions? All right, then. That concludes today's matters. 5 Gentlemen, you may return the defendant to custody. 6 (Proceedings concluded) 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  9 1 THE STATE OF TEXAS 2 COUNTY OF WALLER 3 4 I, Robyn S.

These 4 are Cause Numbers 13703, 13704 and 13705; State of Texas 5 versus Dominique D. Lasker. And we have for the State of 6 Texas, Mr. Mathis; and for the Defense, Mr. Blazek. I have 7 several matters that I am aware of. I will go through a 8 couple of these and then, Counsel, feel free to add to what 9 we are going to be looking at today. 10 Looking at the first Motion for Continuance 11 filed by the State; the State's Motion for Discovery of 12 expert witnesses; the State's Motion for Competency Exam -- 13 that is applicable to all three cases. 14 Then from the Defense I have the Defense's 15 Motion to Exist -- to Dismiss. Exist? I have Motion to 16 Dismiss on each case; Motion for Disclosure of Favorable 17 Evidence. I believe those are the only two in each of the 18 matters from the Defense. Is there anything else we are 19 aware of, Counsel? 20 MR. MATHIS: That is all I know of, Your 21 Honor. 22 MR. BLAZEK: That is all I am aware of, Your 23 Honor. 24 THE COURT: Let's take up the State's First 25 Motion for Continuance first because I think associated with  5 1 that will be Mr. Blazek's Motions to Dismiss. I believe the 2 arguments would be similar for both. 3 MR. MATHIS: Your Honor, do you want me to 4 stand, Your Honor? 5 THE COURT: You may sit. Let's deal with it 6 this way. 7 MR. BLAZEK: Thank you, Your Honor. I 8 appreciate that. 9 MR. MATHIS: Appreciate it, Judge. 10 In Case Numbers 13703 and 13704 and 13705, the 11 State has filed a first Motion for Continuance with Order. 12 Your Honor, I am making the assumption that the Court has 13 read the Motion for Continuance. 14 THE COURT: I have, sir. 15 MR. MATHIS: I will not go back over the 16 procedural history, but we would request the Court to take 17 judicial notice of the allegations that are sworn to in the 18 Motion for Continuance. 19 THE COURT: So noted. 20 MR. MATHIS: The defendant in this case, 21 Mr. Lasker, was charged by indictment with capital murder in 22 two indictments of murder of the first-degree alleged to have 23 occurred on or about March the 11th, 2010, here in Waller 24 County. These indictments were signed on January the 27th, 25 2011, after a lengthy investigation.  6 1 The defendant absconded from the scene, the 2 County, and the State of Texas shortly after the murders. 3 And following the murders the defendant committed an 4 aggravated bank robbery in California and was apprehended. 5 He was sentenced on the resulting charges on December 16th, 6 2011, in the federal court system. On information and 7 belief, the defendant has been instated under federal custody 8 in California since the aggravated bank robbery. 9 The defendant was returned to this 10 jurisdiction on the above-numbered and styled causes on or 11 about May 24th, 2003. And he appeared before this Court for 12 the first time on June the 4th, 2013. This Honorable Court 13 appointed counsel from the Regional Public Defender for 14 capital cases. And the Regional Public Defender refused to 15 accept appointments. 16 The defendant was reassigned court-appointed 17 counsel of Mr. Blazek on June the 6th, 2013. The defendant 18 waived arraignment, entered a not guilty plea on July 15th, 19 2013. And the defendant requested and was granted additional 20 counsel on July 18th, 2013. 21 No discovery of any kind has -- at the time of 22 the filing of this Motion for Continuance, no discovery of 23 any kind has been requested by counsel for the defendant 24 until counsel met together at the D.A.'s office on August 25 28th of this year. No court date has been requested by  7 1 counsel or defendant. There has never been a request for 2 trial or pre-trial dates and no trial date has ever been set 3 by the Court. 4 Prior to the filing of this Motion for 5 Continuance, no motion had been filed by counsel with the 6 exception of a request for additional counsel. To the 7 knowledge of the District Attorney's Office, no request for 8 investigator fees or psychological evaluation has been made 9 by defense counsel and, to the knowledge of the undersigned 10 attorney at the time of the filing of this motion, there was 11 no request to see or inspect the State's file. 12 Defense counsel has not reviewed any evidence 13 in the possession of the D.A.'s office, not reviewed the 14 State's file. On or about June the 12th, 2013, I spoke with 15 the defense counsel, Mr. Blazek, over the telephone regarding 16 this case. As a result of that discussion, it was my belief 17 he was requesting that I put the case on hold pending time 18 for the defense attorney to assemble a mitigation packet to 19 present to me and in an attempt to get me to refrain from 20 seeking the death penalty in the capital case. My office has 21 been actively preparing this case for trial yet not 22 anticipating a trial date in September, 2013. 23 The State's trial case requires the presence 24 of several out-of-state witnesses from various law 25 enforcement agencies in California and Virginia. Given the  8 1 present posture of the case, the State will require more time 2 to coordinate and assure those witnesses' presence. The 3 Defense has not yet designated the expert witnesses it 4 expects to call in their case-in-chief or in sentencing for 5 purposes of mitigation. The State anticipates a significant 6 time necessary to prepare for rebuttal. The State has filed 7 a request for the names and addresses of any such defense 8 experts. 9 The State has filed a motion for the 10 psychological evaluation of the defendant, which has not been 11 heard or completed. In addition, the first assistant 12 district attorney was scheduled for hip replacement surgery 13 on September 3rd, 2013, which has occurred. The recovery 14 time is anticipated to be up to eight weeks. This surgery 15 has already been rescheduled so that the attorney would be 16 able to try the State of Texas versus Taylor McShan. 17 The First Assistant has been primarily 18 involved in the investigation and prosecution of this cause, 19 and to assign the case to another attorney in the office 20 other than the elected district attorney would be a hardship. 21 Defense counsel Blazek and his Motion for the Appointment of 22 Attorneys, Co-defense counsel, indicates this case is complex 23 and requires more than one attorney. That assertion is true 24 on behalf of the State of Texas, as well. 25 The State of Texas has introduced a document  9 1 into the Court's file which indicates the State intends to 2 seek the death penalty in this case. It is anticipated that 3 jury selection and trial of this case could take four to six 4 weeks, possibly more. The defendant in this cause faces a 5 death penalty and has been -- only been represented by 6 counsel for approximately 85 days at the filing of this 7 motion. To proceed to trial at this time or in any time in 8 the near future would be reversible and harmful error. 9 And while acknowledging the existence of Texas 10 Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 51.14, which -- under 11 which this Motion for Continuance is partially based, the 12 undersigned does hereby assert any provisions therein 13 mandating trial by a date certain are impermissibly 14 restrictive or overbroad and violate the Separation of Powers 15 Doctrines of the Texas and/or Federal Constitution. 16 Whether or not a case is ready for trial is 17 based on numerous factors and cannot be reduced to a simple 18 formula that applies equally to Class C misdemeanors and 19 capital felonies. The determination of when a case is ready 20 for trial is in the province of the judiciary, not the 21 legislature. Counsel would further show this is the first 22 request for a continuance by the State of Texas. This 23 request is made in the interest of justice, not for the 24 purpose of delay, but so justice may be done. And that 25 continuance is requested for only as long as necessary.  10 1 Now having said that, Your Honor, this case 2 triggers or involves Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 3 51.14. And I believe Mr. Blazek and I probably are in 4 disagreement over which section of Code of Criminal Procedure 5 Article 51.14 is applicable to this case. 6 I have in front of me, which is also relevant 7 to Mr. Blazek's Motion for the Discovery of Exculpatory 8 Evidence, the original notice and demand to District Attorney 9 or prosecutor for trial or disposition of warrants, 10 informations, detainers or indictments by a federal prisoner, 11 which I will be tendering to him for his review and copying 12 today. 13 And, in addition, accompanying that is the 14 address in which it came, which was from Mr. Dominique Dontae 15 Lasker of the U.S. Penitentiary in Victorville. It was 16 addressed to the District Attorney/Prosecutor's office for 17 Waller County at the old address at which I no longer use for 18 an office at 846 6th Street, Suite 1, Hempstead, Texas 77445. 19 That being said, on the face of the document 20 it was eventually received at our office on July the 19th, 21 2012; and the actual document itself is also stamped received 22 July 19th, 2012, Elton R. Mathis, Waller County District 23 Attorney. 24 THE COURT: Counsel, do you know whether or 25 not that is a copy or the original of the document that is on  11 1 file in the court -- clerk's file? 2 MR. MATHIS: This is an original that was 3 received at my office. 4 THE COURT: Very well, sir. 5 And just so that we will know while we are 6 talking about this, I have printed out a copy of Article 7 51.14 from the Lexis Nexis website, which purports to be 8 accurate. Further? 9 MR. MATHIS: Your Honor, in my speaking with 10 Mr. Blazek, it is my belief that his argument is that his 11 client is here in Texas under Article 3 of -- under Article 3 12 of Article 51.14, the Interstate Agreement on Detainers. It 13 appears based upon the documents that were sent to my office 14 by Mr. Lasker that he was, indeed, attempting to invoke the 15 powers and the timelines created by Article 3 of Article 16 51.14, which would require a trial of this cause within 180 17 days of receipt by the Prosecutor in this case. There are 18 several issues that the State has with that assertion. Those 19 being -- and let me clarify, this goes to Mr. Blazek's Motion 20 to Dismiss. 21 THE COURT: I believe that they are related. 22 MR. MATHIS: Yes, under Article 3. It is the 23 State's position that that issue, his Motion for Dismissal 24 under Article 3, could possibly be -- well, it is. It is a 25 very fact-based determination that the Court needs to make.  12 1 The State's position on that is several 2 things. One, Article 3 requires strict compliance and 3 Mr. Lasker has not engaged in strict compliance that is 4 required in order to invoke the provisions of Article 3. Not 5 all of those are the following: The Request for Notice of 6 Demand that was sent to the D.A.'s office, as already 7 indicated, was not sent to the correct address. It was not 8 sent by certified or registered mail as the law requires. 9 And the most important thing that the State has been able to 10 determine at this point is that the warden of the prison at 11 which he was being held in California had no involvement with 12 his request to be sent to Texas. 13 Now, that is very important because it plays 14 into what the State believes has happened in this case under 15 Article 4. The State received Mr. Lasker's notice on or 16 about July 19th -- on July 19th, as previously indicated; 17 however, immediately prior to receiving that notice the State 18 of Texas through the Sheriff's office and also the District 19 Attorney's office had attempted to get Mr. Lasker back in 20 Texas prior to that date. 21 The D.A.'s office and also the Sheriff's 22 Office were advised by the federal government, the federal 23 prison system in California, that in order to get Mr. Lasker 24 back, we would have to proceed under Article 4. After 25 receiving Mr. Lasker's request on July the 19th, 2012,  13 1 numerous contacts were again made by the Sheriff's office and 2 the District Attorney's office to obtain Mr. Lasker's 3 presence in Texas. At that point, both the Sheriff's Office 4 and the District Attorney's office were informed that we 5 would have to proceed under Article 4, not Article 3. 6 In addition to the document that I previously 7 indicated that I have here for Mr. Blazek's review, I also 8 have various faxes and documents provided by the U.S. 9 Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons to my office, 10 among which are documents indicating that our office on -- 11 when we contacted them between July 18th and August of 2012, 12 that we would be required to proceed under -- with IAD Form 13 5. 14 We were sent IAD Form 5, which applies to 15 obtaining possession of a prisoner under Article 4. At that 16 point, our office began proceedings to obtain custody of 17 Mr. Lasker at the direction of the federal government. We 18 filled out the papers that they wanted and that process went 19 back and forth for months. Every time we would send them a 20 form and actually on Article -- the IAD Form 5, that required 21 your signature. And there should be one in your Court's file 22 that we sent to basically get the ball rolling. 23 After that, other forms were sent, sent back. 24 They were summarily rejected. They were missing information. 25 And we finally were able to provide the federal government  14 1 with all the forms they needed sometime, I believe, in May of 2 2013. The Sheriff thereafter was able to go to California, 3 his representatives obtained Mr. Lasker and bring him back 4 here. 5 When -- under Article 4, when he entered 6 Texas, the time provisions would start running because he was 7 now here in Texas under the provisions of Article 4 of -- 8 Article 51.14 of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers. That 9 is the basis of why the State of Texas has filed its first 10 Motion for Continuance. 11 It is the position of the State of Texas that 12 Mr. Lasker is not in the State of Texas based upon his 13 attempts at complying with Article 3, which would require 14 trial within 180 days after he shall have cause to be 15 delivered to the prosecuting officer and the appropriate 16 court of the prosecuting officer's jurisdiction, written 17 notice of the place of his imprisonment, and his request for 18 final disposition. 19 It is the State of Texas's position that 20 Article 3 request never happened and his attempts to invoke 21 Article 3 were void for several reasons, which I have already 22 alluded to. One, he did not involve the warden. If the 23 warden was involved, it is not reflective of the documents 24 that have been sent to my office and sent to the Court. 25 That may seem like a -- simply a procedural  15 1 error; however, I believe it's relevant because the fact that 2 the warden was not involved, which Article 3 specifically 3 requires. When the District Attorney's office of Waller 4 County and the Sheriff's Office of Waller County attempted to 5 obtain the possession of Mr. Lasker under Article 5, the 6 warden of the federal prison where he was being detained 7 apparently had no knowledge of Mr. Lasker's request under 8 Article 3. Otherwise, they would not have been requiring the 9 D.A.'s office, the Sheriff's Office, this Court, to engage in 10 the requirements of Article 4 in order to obtain his presence 11 here in Waller County. 12 This is also very important because under 13 Article 3, Section E; a request for final disposition made by 14 a prisoner pursuant to Paragraph A. hereof shall also be 15 deemed to be a Waiver of Extradition with respect to any 16 charge or proceeding contemplated thereby or included therein 17 by reason of Paragraph D. thereof. And the Waiver of 18 Extradition to the receiving state to serve any sentence 19 there imposed upon him after completion of his term of 20 imprisonment in the sending state. 21 This request for final disposition shall also 22 constitute a consent by the prisoner to the production of his 23 body in any Court where his presence may be required in order 24 to effectuate the purposes of this agreement and a further 25 consent voluntarily to be returned to the original place of  16 1 imprisonment in accordance with the provisions of this 2 agreement. 3 Case law is reflective in this area, that if 4 the defendant in a case -- and I will quote the case of 5 Bryant versus State citing Burton versus State. Bryant out 6 of the Court of Appeals, 14th District of Houston; and citing 7 Burton versus State, Texas Appeals out of Dallas, 1991: When 8 an inmate took it upon himself to notify the prosecutor and 9 the Harris County court directly he was responsible for 10 seeing that the notice was sent and the form required by the 11 IAD or the Interstate Agreement on Detainers. 12 Lasker's failure to involve the warden in 13 this process resulted in the entire extradition process going 14 forward under Article 4 rather than it being waived under 15 Article 3. The only person whose fault that is, is 16 Mr. Lasker in this case. If he wanted the protections of 17 Article 3, he should have strictly complied with the 18 provisions and mandates of Article 3, involved the warden, 19 had that sent by certified or registered mail by the 20 warden -- not by himself -- to my office and to the Court. 21 That was not done. 22 The purposes of Article 3 assume that the 23 warden is going to be a valid, large part of this process. 24 Otherwise, you have Pro Se inmate dealing directly with the 25 Prosecutor and a Court. And the person that has custody of  17 1 him has absolutely no idea what is going on. The person that 2 has custody of him has no idea he has waived extradition. 3 And the person who has custody of him is in no way going to 4 release that prisoner unless compliance is had under Article 5 3 or Article 4, which is exactly what the warden in 6 California did. He demanded compliance from the D.A.'s 7 office -- my office, and the Sheriff's office under Article 8 4. And that is how we proceeded. 9 Therefore, Your Honor, it is the State's 10 position that Mr. Lasker is here under Article 4. We 11 acknowledge that under Article 4, there is 120-day 12 requirement that he be brought to trial after his arrival in 13 the receiving state except for good cause shown in open court 14 with the prisoner or his counsel being present, which they 15 both are. The Court having jurisdiction of this matter -- 16 which you do -- may grant any necessary or reasonable 17 continuance. 18 At this point, Your Honor, limited to the 19 State's First Motion for Continuance and based on the 20 representations that I have previously made to you regarding 21 the complexity of this case, who is working on this case, and 22 the lack of time preparation on such a serious case by 23 defense attorney, which is in no way a dig at the defense 24 attorney; we are respectfully requesting that Continuance so 25 this case can be properly disposed of and it gets the time  18 1 and the serious reflection and input from the Prosecutor's 2 office and the Defense Attorney that it deserves. 3 THE COURT: Before I pass to Mr. Blazek, one 4 question I do have and I have not been able to answer it: 5 Has the federal system signed on to the Interstate Agreement 6 on Detainers? 7 MR. MATHIS: Yes, Your Honor, because this -- 8 these are the forms and the requirements that they were 9 providing to us that they require. 10 THE COURT: I wanted to be sure that we didn't 11 miss one of our critical steps right there. Very well, 12 Mr. Blazek, your argument, sir. We are approaching this both 13 from your Dismissal, as well as his Motion for Continuance. 14 MR. BLAZEK: I will address these concepts 15 together and inform the Court of what I think is important. 16 I agree with one of the key assertions that the District 17 Attorney has made; this is a fact-sensitive issue. There is 18 some law, but the facts are real important and for the IADA 19 to apply, the State of Texas has to have had a detainer 20 lodged against the defendant in the prison in the federal 21 penitentiary based upon his request and the paperwork I have 22 seen in the Court's file. And I think that is true, but we 23 still -- we don't have a stipulation to it. Perhaps we will 24 by the -- but this hearing, the State will stipulate that 25 there was a detainer for each of these cases.  19 1 If there is a detainer, then that gives under 2 the IADA, both the federal government and the State are a 3 party to this law, that gives the defendant the right to 4 request a speedy disposition of all detainers. And there is 5 no doubt that he attempted to do so. And the Court's file -- 6 I believe the Court -- the Court's file-marked copy is dated 7 July 16th, 2012. That is when the District Clerk received 8 it. It has all three cause numbers in it, appears to be 9 filled out relatively appropriately. And I think now the 10 D.A. has stipulated that they received their copy on the 19th 11 of July. And the statute says that when both have received 12 it, if it is properly made, then that is when you start the 13 180-day time period. 14 So if the 180-day time period is the law that 15 applies, that is the rule; well, then, I don't think there is 16 anything I can do at this point to waive it. It either has 17 passed or it hasn't passed. It is either is or isn't. This 18 Court will determine based upon all the facts whether or not 19 it does apply. You know, I have made note of the three 20 variances that the -- that the District Attorney has pointed 21 out; that it was sent to the incorrect address. 22 My recollection -- I am trying to think back 23 during the Sessler case, which was I think back in 2012 -- 24 that is when the D.A.'s office was moving because I went to 25 the wrong address, too, the first time I went to their  20 1 office, but they had a new office. So, it is understandable 2 that they would send it because that is during the time 3 period that they had made their move. 4 I have not yet -- and there is -- this case 5 law is all over the country -- not all states, but virtually 6 all states are governed by the IADA and the federal 7 government is; and because it is a compact, a federal state 8 compact, they have held individual states cannot interpret 9 this statute differently. It's altogether, you know, it is a 10 one unitary interpretation so the Supreme Court is like the 11 Court of Criminal Appeals in this case. It's not a state law 12 issue. 13 So what I have to do is I have to go through 14 my search of these cases and try to find has any court ruled 15 yet on whether or not sending it to the wrong address and 16 causing a three-day delay invalidates the request. The same 17 with whether it was properly registered or certified mail, as 18 opposed to first-class mail because apparently it came by 19 first-class mail just with stamps on it. And then the last 20 thing is whether or not the request had to be given to the 21 warden. There is no doubt that the statute says that is what 22 you are supposed to do, give it to the warden. I think the 23 prosecution is over-emphasizing the importance of that. It 24 may be that that is important. It may be that some case law 25 already exists that has resolved these things. I hope there  21 1 is. That makes it easier for us, but I don't know the answer 2 to that question. 3 And so, I want to do that research. It is my 4 understanding that either way, whether it is an Article 3 or 5 an Article 4 transfer, you know, it's not just as simple as 6 going and picking him up. You know, the Article 3 says there 7 is a Waiver of Extradition and, indeed, there is; but under 8 Article 4, there is no extradition there either because 9 extradition implies something completely different. These 10 are requests for temporary custody. 11 And even if it's an Article 3, you just can't 12 send a deputy down there to pick him up, he's on his way. 13 That is not enough. There has to be an agreement signed 14 between the authorities in the State of Texas and the 15 authorities of the federal government, the warden's office; 16 whereby the State of Texas agrees that they are bringing him 17 here just for limited purpose. They provide him immunity 18 from other things that might happen. And they agree to 19 return him when the trial is over. That is part of the deal, 20 that they agree to return him. It could be that the Feds 21 would waive their right to get him back on their return, 22 depending upon what happens here. 23 But in theory, a client could come from a 24 federal penitentiary to Texas and be acquitted or be given a 25 shorter sentence. The federal government, they still have  22 1 jurisdiction over him. They haven't waived anything or given 2 up anything; it's kind of like a shared thing. And so that 3 agreement has to be reached. 4 And so, to me, that is what I think the focus 5 or would have been that inevitable situation, I think it's 6 important that we look at the correspondence between the 7 State and the warden to find out exactly what transpired 8 there. And I will just say this by way of a side -- as an 9 illustration. There is a case that is cited in the books. 10 It is Sephus versus State or it might be Ex Parte Sephus -- I 11 can't recall right now -- but Julie Sephus from Leon County. 12 In that case, it wasn't a violation of the 13 time limits, it was a violation of the anti-shuttling 14 provision; gone from the federal penitentiary to Texas back 15 to the federal penitentiary, and then the D.A. of Leon County 16 wanted to get him again. And there the warden of the federal 17 said you can't get him because there is -- there is a 18 provision in there -- in the IADA when Texas gets him for one 19 detainer they get him for all detainers and all must be 20 disposed of before he is returned to the Feds. 21 So that type of correspondence, I think, can 22 be very important in understanding that -- what the case 23 means. Then, of course, in there, then to acquire him they 24 attempted to use a procedure other than the IADA, got him 25 into custody, but the Court of Appeals in Waco, which was  23 1 affirmed -- well, not affirmed but PDR-denied by the Court of 2 Criminal Appeals, said that it didn't matter that the fact 3 that the D.A. used what they called a Writ of Habeas Corpus 4 Ad Prosequendum, was a detainer, he was brought here, and so 5 the IADA applied. I think we do need to get those particular 6 facts. 7 If it turns out that the 180-day rule doesn't 8 apply, if it turns out that one of these three requirements 9 is mandatory and; therefore, his compliance was a mere 10 attempt, and you know they -- there is a case -- it is called 11 Votta -- Joseph Votta -- State of Texas versus Joseph Votta. 12 And there the Court of Criminal Appeals discussed some of the 13 things that happened, which would mean there was a mere 14 attempt. And there, the example they gave, the district 15 clerk never received the original request for disposition. 16 What they did was, they did acknowledge they received a copy 17 of it attached to a Motion to Dismiss. And the intermediate 18 Court of Appeals and the trial court said that was 19 sufficient. Once the trial court was provided a copy of it 20 attached to a Motion to Dismiss, it was on notice that it 21 existed and that is when they started counting the 180 days. 22 And the Court of Criminal Appeals pointed 23 out merely attaching it as a copy is not enough. You 24 actually have to send the request to the Court, not being a 25 mere exhibit to a Motion to Dismiss, and they held that the  24 1 IADA didn't -- wasn't properly made and; therefore, didn't 2 apply in that case. 3 To me, it suggests that if you have to go 4 that far, you know, there was obviously no correspondence 5 between the warden -- there were all -- they didn't mention 6 these others, they had a much greater claim. Who knows what 7 the Courts would say ultimately on this. But I give that as 8 an example. 9 Then if that doesn't apply, then the 120-day 10 rule applies. Based upon my count of that we have 11 more 11 days, I think. And there is into setting yet. And so, I for 12 one don't want to do anything that would constitute a waiver 13 of my client's rights. And so, I am going to be very 14 careful. 15 With regard to facts asserted in the Motion 16 for Continuance and, you know, I certainly didn't have a 17 court reporter transcribing anything I or Mr. Mathis said 18 back on about June the 12th. I did make notes of my 19 conversation with him. And I don't recall saying anything 20 about putting anything on hold. I do recall being somewhat 21 apprehensive about the issue of the IADA. I did ask 22 Mr. Mathis, How did y'all get him here? What was the 23 mechanism of him getting him here? He mentioned something 24 about filling out a lot of forms, and I was already on notice 25 that the IADA may be applicable in this case. I knew at that  25 1 point -- I wasn't going to say or ask anything about a delay 2 until I knew more information. 3 In terms of -- there were -- discussed about 4 informal discovery. He informed me about a confession that 5 he believed my client had made. We discussed generally him 6 locating that, getting me a copy of it. There were no time 7 limits set, there were no specific demands. I've certainly 8 not gone to the Court for any discovery. More recently, I 9 found out from him in addition to the confession the State 10 believes that they have, they believe that the weapon that 11 was used in this case was also used in the aggravated robbery 12 case. So we have had some informal discovery, so I think I 13 know a little bit about the evidence, but obviously there's a 14 lot more I need to learn but I don't want to waive anything. 15 And, at this point, you know, I am always 16 interested if there could be mutual benefit about trading 17 things, but I don't want to give up anything. And so, I 18 would imagine this Court, if it chose to, could make a 19 preliminary ruling or make a final ruling on it and say 20 that's it, we're not going to come back and address it any 21 more and just rule that he never made a request under Article 22 3. Or it can make a preliminary ruling or could just say, I 23 want to get all the facts and make a ruling at the right 24 time. 25 And I believe the District Attorney has  26 1 already indicated that they are going to supply me with more 2 information in my Request for Disclosure of Favorable 3 Evidence, that they intend to supply me with evidence. I 4 assume the correspondence they have had with the warden as 5 well as, you know, the documents relating to Request for 6 Early Disposition filed by my client. So that is where we 7 stand at this point on both of these issues. It may be 8 premature to rule on the Motion to Dismiss unless the Court 9 feels that it has enough. But, at this point, we just don't 10 want to waive anything. We want to assert our rights and 11 make sure we are not waiving anything. 12 THE COURT: Well, I think it's important for 13 the record to reflect that whenever the Clerk received this 14 back in July of 2012 -- it was actually presented to me and 15 due to the nature of the case, I took note of it, special 16 note of it. And, at that time, had done a cursory view of 17 the Article 51.14 as it existed at the time. And there is a 18 sticky-note in the file that you may have seen or counsel has 19 seen that said no action at this time, has my initials on it. 20 And the reason behind that being that at the 21 time I did not feel that we had reached the point where this 22 had become a formal matter, simply because in that reading of 23 Article 3, I saw no evidence of the Department of 24 Corrections for the federal, the warden to be involved. So I 25 do place a lot of credence in what Mr. Mathis has said in his  27 1 argument about why the warden should be involved in this 2 communications loop because it does make not only legal 3 sense, but logical sense that if the warden doesn't know 4 about it and he has got some sort of Waiver of Extradition or 5 he has got an inmate trying to do things outside his normal 6 chain of communications, that would be a concern for a 7 warden. 8 So I think what I would be most comfortable 9 doing was allowing you to defer the ruling on your Motion to 10 Dismiss and not hold it against you should we reach past that 11 120 days. And so, my ruling here on the record would be that 12 I will take that under advisement until such time as you have 13 had an opportunity to create a fact trail from what we have 14 here. And I believe that with the cordiality and 15 congeniality of counsel, and I know you are both very 16 competent, both been in my courts uncountable times. I know 17 you will be able to work through the stipulation as to what 18 facts Mr. Mathis's files reflects and what they don't. 19 And so, I will allow you to do that and brief 20 that and not hold any of these dates against you in doing 21 that. But, at the same time, I will grant the State's Motion 22 for Continuance so that in the record and formally we will 23 not have triggered inadvertently either 180 or 120 day until 24 we can have sorted out what the IADA intends to say through 25 the case law or any rulings that may be available there.  28 1 So with that, what we need to do is determine 2 and, again, Mr. Blazek, without you waiving anything of your 3 client's position and should you wish to do intermediate 4 appeals and so forth, I understand the necessity; but what we 5 need to determine is what sort of schedule we need between 6 now and a trial date and how long we think it will take us to 7 prepare for that and get ourselves set to go. 8 And looking just in a preliminary -- we'll get 9 to these other matters later -- just looking at preliminary 10 dates, and let's just make an assumption that may or may not 11 be accurate, the State of Texas has asked for an Examination 12 on Competency. I will allow you to argue that for or 13 against, but should I be disposed to grant that, that 14 normally takes a minimum of 30 days and due to the complexity 15 of the case, it may even take longer. The very earliest I 16 could see us being able to do the next preliminary hearing in 17 this matter would be the early part of November. 18 And simply because in October, I have a 19 two-week capital murder trial scheduled in Grimes County that 20 is going to occupy my time during that period of time. If 21 the capital doesn't, I have a first-degree, minimum 25 to 22 life, child sexual -- continuous sexual assault we will try 23 over there, which is also a two-week case. I have either for 24 coming back for matters here November 4th in the morning or a 25 November 8th in the morning. And I am not going to hold your  29 1 feet to the fire at this point, but if you would check your 2 calendars and get with my coordinator, we will try to get 3 that put into the calendar as soon as we can. 4 And then, Mr. Blazek, you may be able to tell 5 me how long it's going to take to get your mitigation set up 6 and ready to try this case. And, again, without waiving 7 anything, if it is likely to be this year or likely to be 8 after the first of the year, I need to start getting you on 9 there and a time period to make that work. 10 MR. BLAZEK: Judge, you are exactly right. You 11 pointed out the dilemma that the Defense faces. On the one 12 hand, a typical capital case we would be asking for as much 13 time as you could conceive to give us to get ready. But, on 14 the other hand, if I ask for that time, I may be waiving 15 certain rights. In addition to the 180-day, which I think we 16 are probably safe there in not waiving the 180-day claim 17 because the 180 days has already lapsed. If it is violated, 18 it is violated. 19 For the 120 days, 120-day timeline there's an 20 issue there for us that we don't want to waive. There is 21 another issue. And that is his Sixth Amendment right to a 22 speedy trial, which there is no particular time limit there, 23 just a reasonable time. And there, there is no particular 24 format for demanding the request or the failure to contact 25 the warden wouldn't in any way diminish the value of his  30 1 Request for a Speedy Disposition there. So we at least have 2 on file a Sixth Amendment Demand for Speedy Trial. And so, 3 and he has been in custody all this time. So those are 4 issues that I need to weigh in looking at that. 5 And so what initially -- what my answer to the 6 Court is, I will do my best to clear my schedule and to be 7 ready for any date that the Court or the State gives us. And 8 there may be a particular need for delay later on that we 9 would assert. But, at this time, I can't assert or request 10 any delay without conferring with my client and letting him 11 know the significance of it. 12 And so, I don't know of any conflict. I know 13 my schedule pretty close. I would suspect I would have no 14 conflict in my schedule for either November 4th or 8th. Both 15 of those are pretty far in advance. I don't know of anything 16 coming up that would say I wouldn't be available for those 17 two dates. So the only objection I would have to them is 18 that they are -- they deny my client his rights under the 19 IADA and the Constitutional Right to a Speedy Trial. 20 THE COURT: Well, I think I owe it to you for 21 clarity right now to give you the grounds that as a 22 preliminary ruling. I am using Article 4 of IADA to grant 23 the State's Request for the Continuance because I do find 24 good grounds. And that good grounds being the delay in 25 getting Mr. Lasker back here; the seriousness of the charges  31 1 against him; the availability of him being provided adequate 2 and proper counsel; the complexity that has been represented 3 to me of this case. And for all of those reasons and there 4 may well be further reasons upon study of this, I do find we 5 have the good grounds that would be found under Article 4 6 for the Continuance. 7 Then having said that, and because of the 8 situation we find us in, you needing to do some research, the 9 fact trail, and whatever factual stipulations or testimony, 10 and again without waiving anything; I think if we can set it 11 up for the November 4th date at 10:00 o'clock. 12 And, frankly, Mr. Blazek, if you go back to 13 your office and Marilyn says, Can't do it. If we need to 14 move it to the 8th, it is okay. But we will set it for the 15 10:00 o'clock on the 4th of November for argument on your 16 Motion. And should we need an earlier motion than that, 17 certainly contact Susie. That would be same for you, 18 Mr. Mathis, contact the coordinator, and we will find a 19 Saturday morning we can all gather and meet, but we will do 20 it. 21 That handles right now -- the Continuance is 22 granted. Your Motions to Dismiss are taken under advisement 23 pending further arguments and research. 24 MR. MATHIS: Your Honor, may I just interject, 25 I personally think it would be a good idea if we went ahead  32 1 and had a preliminary trial date set. Article 4 and Article 2 3 both assume that multiple continuances can be granted but 3 at this point because we are dealing with a mandate that 4 trial occur, I believe it would behoove the Court, behoove 5 the State, to actually go ahead and set an initial trial date 6 that could be adjusted later on, if necessary. 7 THE COURT: Susie, would you come up with a 8 February/March, 2014 window for me. That will give us 9 approximately six months preparation time. That would also 10 be allowing a minimum of a four-week window for the 11 individual voir dire selection, and then two weeks for a 12 trial itself. 13 INVESTIGATOR WOOLLEY: February trial week? 14 THE COURT: When is that? 15 INVESTIGATOR WOOLLEY: February 3rd through 16 7th. 17 THE COURT: Probably going to be after that 18 because this is a special venire we will bring in. I will 19 just clear all the rest of my junk out, get a visiting judge 20 for everything else. 21 While she's looking at that, I have the 22 State's Motion for Examination for Incompetency and the 23 allegations have been made in the State's motion. Just on 24 the bare allegations -- we will come back to that in just a 25 moment. Thank you, ma'am.  33 1 MS. SCHUBERT: That's our calendar. 2 THE COURT: Gentlemen, it appears the best 3 time frame to look at this would be from February 24th, 4 bringing in the special venire at that point and then having 5 the week of the 24th, week of March 3rd, and then expecting 6 to present testimony the weeks of March 10 and 17th. And we 7 can certainly go longer should we need to beyond that. 8 So let's set this matter for trial on February 9 24th. We will back up from that. We already have the 10 November 4th pre-trial. And there will be a January 11 pre-trial we will set at the November hearing. And we will 12 grant any additional early February pre-trials that we may 13 find that we need after the January pre-trial. 14 MR. BLAZEK: In response on behalf of the 15 Defense, Your Honor, I don't think those dates present any 16 conflict with my schedule. We should be able to accommodate 17 those. We will do our very best to be ready for trial on 18 those dates. But I would object to setting those dates 19 outside the 120-day, 180-day limit and that the setting of a 20 trial date under these circumstances violates the Interstate 21 Agreement on Detainers, as well as the Sixth Amendment Right 22 to Speedy Trial. 23 THE COURT: Thank you, Counsel. It is so 24 noted and taken into consideration. 25 All right. Moving on to the matter we were  34 1 about to address on the competency issue, I have reviewed the 2 State's motion and I am not sure that I have seen a response, 3 Mr. Blazek, as far as the Motion for Competency Examination. 4 MR. BLAZEK: I had filed a response. We would 5 object to it. We don't think that any of these suggestions 6 of purported facts by the D.A. give rise to an issue of 7 competency. And I know this, that if at any time an issue of 8 competency arises, I am not slow to request help. Usually 9 the first help I request in a capital case is to get a 10 consulting mental health professional to work with me and we 11 will do our own. And then if that gives rise to something, 12 then we'd ask for the independent examination. But, at this 13 time, I would object to the appointment of the independent 14 mental health examiner. 15 THE COURT: I think your argument is well 16 taken. Knowing generally how capital cases work and how you 17 work, I would anticipate seeing some motions in the near term 18 in camera for various resources. 19 All right. For the Disclosure of Favorable 20 Evidence for both sides; frankly, we are not there yet so far 21 as the new discovery laws that are going to go into effect on 22 January 1st. Court has a standing policy on discovery. And 23 while you may not have seen the Waller County version, I 24 assure you it is virtually identical to the Grimes County 25 version, has obligations for both the Defense and the State.  35 1 What I would prefer to do is go ahead and sign 2 that Standard Discovery Order for all three of these matters. 3 And then should there be further discovery that is required, 4 if each side, both the State and the Defense, would file 5 those requests with the Court identifying how those requests 6 may differ from the Standard Discovery Order, then that may 7 alleviate that. 8 Susie, would you go get me three copies of 9 that, please, ma'am. We will go ahead and get those filed 10 today. And that may then oviate any further rulings on the 11 discovery today. 12 Anything further from the State? 13 MR. MATHIS: No, Your Honor. Other than I 14 will, again, make those representations that prior to 15 Mr. Blazek leaving today, I will make available to him copies 16 of the Notice and Demand that was sent to our office and 17 copies of the Certificate of Service; a copy of a document 18 the top of which indicates Sentence Monitoring Computation 19 Data as of 4/4/2012; and the letter that these documents came 20 to -- to our office for his -- I will make sure he gets a 21 true and correct copy of all of those. In addition, the 22 D.A.'s office did receive a certified letter from Mr. Lasker 23 on April 8th of this year demanding that his cases be 24 dismissed. And, again, I will provide him -- as in "him" -- 25 the defense attorney, copies of what was in that letter from  36 1 Mr. Lasker. I believe both are relevant to the cause and the 2 issues that he is concerned about. 3 THE COURT: I think that will work. You know, 4 taking the presumption and I think we all deal with it, that 5 death is different. We handle it carefully and we should all 6 handle it very carefully. Even though you will provide those 7 today, let's move ourselves into the realm of what we are 8 going to be doing with discovery in the future and just 9 prepare a log of what you do provide for him that we can 10 place into the record and be no confusion as to what was 11 actually tendered. Like I said, I know both of you. I know 12 the cordiality and congeniality will continue. But I do want 13 a very complete record on the case. 14 Further, Mr. Blazek? 15 MR. BLAZEK: Nothing further, Your Honor. 16 THE COURT: Very well. Susie has those forms 17 for me. I am going to sign those. And you will each receive 18 your copies of those. There being nothing further before the 19 Court, we stand adjourned. 20 (Proceedings concluded, 5:15 p.m.) 21 22 23 24 25  37 1 THE STATE OF TEXAS 2 COUNTY OF WALLER 3 4 I, Robyn S.

May (979)826-7762  4 1 THE COURT: All right. These are Cause 2 Nos. 13703, 13704, and 13705. The State of Texas versus 3 Dominique D. Lasker. And let the record reflect that 4 the attorneys for the state and for the defense are 5 present in the courtroom. The defendant is in the 6 courtroom. We're here today, gentlemen, for our motions 7 and discuss the procedures and matters that are before 8 the Court. And I believe Mr. Carter, Mr. Blazek you 9 have filed a recent motion; is that correct? 10 MR. BLAZEK: Yes, Judge, we have. We 11 filed a first amended motion to dismiss and, 12 unfortunately, when I attempted to serve a copy on the 13 state we sent it to the wrong fax number. And, so, I 14 kept confirmation that it was faxed, but they didn't get 15 it until this morning because it was faxed to the wrong 16 number and that's my office's fault. And we've 17 discussed it and I think we have an agreement as to how 18 to proceed on that motion. 19 We think that we're going to be able to 20 submit to the Court some agreed stipulations as to 21 certain relevant facts and that we would attach exhibits 22 and have those marked and that we would submit in the 23 near future some hammered out stipulations. I made a 24 rough draft of the stipulations I need, but they're not 25 finalized. And they're going to have some stipulations Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  5 1 that they want as well. And then from the gist of the 2 -- I think we're going to be able to agree to those. I 3 don't think we'll need to have live testimony. And if 4 that's the case then what we'll do with the Court's 5 permission is just submit this to the Court in writing 6 within the next, say, fifteen some days. Is that -- 7 Mr. Mathis? 8 So, within the next fifteen days and then 9 let the Court rule on it at that time after the Court's 10 had a chance to review the written materials and that's 11 the only motion we have filed. I have an ex parte 12 motion to try to get some funding -- an expert, some 13 assistance that I'd like to discuss with the Court ex 14 parte. 15 THE COURT: Very well. That's good that 16 you have the ex parte one because that was on my list. 17 Mr. Mathis, any response on Mr. Blazek's statement? 18 MR. MATHIS: Judge, other than a little 19 bit of confusion that was caused by us not getting the 20 motion today we'll -- a little bit -- now understand 21 what Mr. Blazek wanted to talk about today. I concur 22 with him that we should be able to reach some 23 stipulations more in the nature of "x" document was 24 received on "x" date as opposed to titling any documents 25 or giving them any legal meaning on their own as far as Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  6 1 what we're calling them. And that's correct, the state 2 will also have I'm sure several documents that we will 3 want to have stipulated as well, "x" document was 4 received by the state on "x" day and so forth. So, I do 5 believe fifteen days is plenty of time for us to reach 6 those agreements with each other and submit those to the 7 Court. 8 THE COURT: All right. Then aside from 9 the actual scheduling is there anything else from the 10 defense standpoint that needed to be covered today? 11 MR. BLAZEK: No, Your Honor. I'd like to 12 visit ex parte with you. 13 THE COURT: We'll do that. Once we've 14 broken here we'll go into chambers and take care of 15 those matters unless you need a record. 16 MR. BLAZEK: No. 17 THE COURT: All right. I didn't think 18 so. Well, let's talk about our schedule. Currently we 19 have this matter set for a two-week trial period on 20 February 24th for jury trial. Due to the nature of the 21 case, I would think that a pre-trial hearing would be in 22 order sometime in February. I have an available date 23 February 14th, which puts us only ten days out from the 24 actual time. And by that time we will have already 25 issued our jury notices. And so, what I'm looking at on Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  7 1 that is -- and, certainly, I don't expect the defense or 2 the state either one to give any trial strategies as 3 we're trying to do our planning here. Are we 4 anticipating jury questionnaires? 5 MR. BLAZEK: Yes. Judge, the state has 6 given us notice that they intend to seek the death 7 penalty and in light of that I expect that we will 8 request jury questionnaires. As preliminary matters, I 9 see some issues arising and I -- we have to disclose 10 some trial strategy just to explain why we're proceeding 11 the way we are. I think at this point for purposes of 12 scheduling and the Interstate Agreement on Detainers I 13 believe that my client's rights are fully perfected. I 14 don't think there's anything that this Court can do now 15 to cure whatever may have happened prior to this date. 16 So, from this date forward I don't -- 17 what I'm saying is I'm not waiving or acquiescing or 18 erasing anything that's happened so far. We believe 19 that claim is perfected under the IADA and the speedy 20 trial rights there. Going hence forward from that date, 21 what we expect to do depending upon the Court's ruling 22 on our motion if the Court grants the IADA motion, I 23 expect the state will appeal. If the Court denies our 24 IADA motion I don't believe I have a right to appeal 25 under the Ex Parte Doster case. The Court of Criminal Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  8 1 Appeals has held that even if I had filed a Writ of 2 Habeas Corpus rather than a pretrial motion and received 3 an adverse ruling that it is not the kind of matter that 4 can be appealed interlocutory, the denial of that 5 motion. I do believe that if I could establish that 6 it's a mere ministerial act, that it's not an act of 7 discretion, then I think a Petition for a Writ of 8 Mandamus might be proper. So, I think if this Court 9 grants it, the state I believe will appeal. If the 10 Court denies it, I would expect that we will file an 11 application for Writ of Mandamus to some higher court. 12 On other issues here, I see one -- I 13 believe there probably is going to be a Motion to 14 Suppress the custodial statement that the state has 15 given us and at some point we probably want to have that 16 heard prior to trial. There will probably be some 17 determinations of some expert testimony. I think the 18 state might have some DNA testimony. They certainly 19 will have some forensic testimony about the firearm and 20 the -- whether or not the gun that was used in the 21 homicide was the same as in the robbery in California. 22 And that would probably best be resolved by some sort of 23 pretrial Daubert hearing. And so, those are the only 24 two preliminary matters. 25 And in terms of trial scheduling, I'm Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  9 1 not -- Mr. Carter was going to tell me something about 2 his trial. He had something, but did that get resolved, 3 Billy, your thing in Brazos County? 4 MR. CARTER: No. 5 MR. BLAZEK: So that's -- so Billy -- 6 I'll let Billy address that. 7 MR. CARTER: Judge, right now Michelle 8 Esparza and I are involved in a death penalty re-trial 9 at punishment only. It's in Judge Smith's court that's 10 been set for March. Now, whether it's in stone or not 11 we're not sure, but it's been set months ago. I think 12 we -- the first week or second week in March, if it goes 13 and he has not said it's not going yet. And we're 14 having some preliminary matters on it that we've got to 15 take care of, but -- and that's a re-trial of a 16 punishment case only. 17 THE COURT: What I may need, Mr. Carter, 18 get me the number and style of that. I certainly don't 19 mind talking with Judge Smith, have a good relationship 20 with him, and letting him know what we're facing in the 21 way of our scheduling. 22 MR. CARTER: Okay. 23 THE COURT: And the time problems -- 24 MR. CARTER: All right. 25 THE COURT: -- that we have on this case Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  10 1 so that we don't put you and Ms. Esparza in the middle. 2 It would be Judge Smith and I that work out the details 3 of that. Do you know whether or not there is a time 4 exigency on that case? 5 MR. CARTER: No. 6 THE COURT: Okay. 7 MR. CARTER: In fact, Judge, there's some 8 DNA issues that we just filed a motion about a week ago 9 requesting some DNA testing be done under the new law. 10 And we feel like if that takes place we won't be trying 11 that case until sometime next fall, but right now it's 12 set and nothing's been changed as of yet. And the state 13 has joined in the motion we filed -- they don't oppose 14 the motion. They joined -- they don't oppose the motion 15 requesting DNA testing to be done. 16 THE COURT: I think based upon that we'll 17 go ahead and keep our schedule as it looks like. 18 MR. CARTER: All right. 19 THE COURT: I will talk to Judge Smith 20 and just to be sure -- 21 MR. CARTER: Okay. 22 THE COURT: -- that we're not running 23 into placing you and Ms. Esparza in any sort of 24 predicament on that. I had anticipated and kind of 25 getting back into maybe we ought to talk about this Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  11 1 motion just a little bit more. We talked about the 2 stipulations that you're going to be filing in talking 3 about that. Are you going to do this motion that you 4 filed on the 30th, the First Amended Motion to Dismiss, 5 is that going to be done under a Notice of Submission or 6 do you wish to do that under a hearing or with a 7 hearing? 8 MR. BLAZEK: Well, I think the Notice of 9 Submission is what we're -- we could do it in writing. 10 THE COURT: Right. 11 MR. BLAZEK: We can get our stipulations 12 together. 13 THE COURT: Okay. 14 MR. BLAZEK: And if we can't work out the 15 stipulations we come back to the Court and request a 16 hearing and put on live testimony about the facts we 17 intend to prove, but I'm thinking -- 18 THE COURT: I guess I was looking at it 19 separately. I was looking at the dismissal -- your 20 Motion to Dismiss as a separate issue from the 21 stipulations, but apparently that's incorrect? 22 MR. BLAZEK: The stipulations we're 23 talking about relate to the Motion to Dismiss. 24 THE COURT: Okay. I see that. Then, 25 yes -- Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  12 1 MR. MATHIS: I concur, Your Honor. It's 2 my understanding the stipulations are to aid the Court 3 in deciding his First Amended Motion to Dismiss. 4 THE COURT: All right. I'm now with you. 5 Simply because we have a lot of moving parts, I would 6 like to go ahead and at least do our planning to get us 7 a motions date for the Motion to Suppress. Would the 8 parties be ready on a Motion to Suppress say on January 9 22nd? And we can look at some other dates earlier in 10 the month, as well. 11 MR. BLAZEK: Judge, I think we could be 12 ready on those dates, you know. You tell us what day 13 and we'll try to -- I don't see any conflict. I've got 14 my January 22nd calendar up and I don't see any conflict 15 with that date. 16 THE COURT: Having a conversation here 17 with my scheduling and court coordinator. Do you have 18 any estimate as to how long it might take? 19 MR. BLAZEK: Well, I think the Court is 20 going to have to listen -- this -- part of the basis of 21 the -- Judge, can I sit down while I'm talking? 22 THE COURT: Please do. We'll -- 23 MR. BLAZEK: My old knees. 24 THE COURT: This is substantive, this is 25 not form. Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  13 1 MR. BLAZEK: Thank you. I appreciate 2 that. This is going to require listening to the 3 statement. It's a lengthy statement. And part of the 4 Motion to Suppress is going to be based on the defense 5 assertion that it's not a recording of the defendant's 6 voice, that it's merely a recording of officers 7 repeating what they claim the defendant said and, of 8 course, one of the requirements of 38.22 is that the 9 statement has to be either in writing or recorded. 10 Well, they've done a good job of recording most of what 11 the officers said, that's very audible, but I think most 12 of what the defendant said is -- was not recorded. 13 And then there will be some dispute where 14 some of it might arguably be recorded and might not, but 15 I think a lot of it the Court will agree with us wasn't 16 recorded at all. Some arguably was recorded and some 17 was recorded (sic). And so, the Court's going to have 18 to make a decision and we're going to have to point out 19 time period by time period why we're objecting to the 20 admission of certain things. And a lot of it we're 21 going to be objecting to comments made by the officers 22 on the tape claiming to be repeating what the defendant 23 said. So, it will take some time. 24 THE COURT: From a logistic standpoint, 25 Mr. Mathis, having not seen nor heard any of this are we Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  14 1 dealing with the quality of the reproduction and, if so, 2 have we attempted an enhancement of the tape or 3 recording? 4 MR. MATHIS: Yes, Your Honor, an 5 enhancement has been made and that was what was tendered 6 to Mr. Blazek. 7 THE COURT: All right. So, we've got 8 about as good as we're going to get, is that what your 9 feeling is? 10 MR. MATHIS: Yes, Your Honor. 11 THE COURT: All right. That being the 12 case and because we may be dealing with creatively an 13 edited version, I may be leaning toward moving that to a 14 little earlier in January to give us enough time because 15 I don't want to -- for instance, make some rulings that 16 this and this and this is excluded and then we have a 17 logistics problem of simply doing the redacted, edited 18 portion. 19 MR. MATHIS: Your Honor, January is 20 pretty open as you would know -- 21 THE COURT: Sure. 22 MR. MATHIS: -- for us. 23 THE COURT: How about either the 6th or 24 the 10th, Mr. Blazek? I'm just concerned about if we 25 move it to the end of January running out of time. Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  15 1 MR. BLAZEK: Well, now another issue just 2 arose. I did not realize -- maybe it was by oversight 3 or -- what I -- I thought I had the original or a copy 4 of the original. I didn't realize I had an enhanced 5 copy. And so, that raises an issue in my mind what do I 6 need to do to get ready now. Do I need to take a look 7 at both the original and the enhanced to see if the 8 enhancement made it better or worse? You know, 9 sometimes when you enhance one person's improvement is 10 another person's distortion. And so, that -- I may have 11 to -- I don't know if I'm going to be ready early in 12 January. I may have to -- because I may have to get 13 some help with a third party to help me take a look at 14 that tape to determine whether or not the enhancement 15 helps or hurts; find out what's really on there. It's 16 just an audio. It's not a video. I'm right about that, 17 Mr. Mathis, right? 18 MR. MATHIS: Yes, it's audio. 19 THE COURT: Okay. 20 MR. BLAZEK: So -- but I will do my best. 21 If you give me a date, I'll do my best to get -- to be 22 prepared for that date. 23 THE COURT: Let's set the suppression 24 hearing for January 10th. Unfortunately, that's a 25 Friday, but fortunately for a lot of folks Fridays are Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  16 1 clear. And that will be a little bit of a compromise so 2 that it will give us another couple of weeks should we 3 need to create an edited version of that. I realize it 4 puts you in a bit of a timeframe. 5 MR. BLAZEK: We'll do the best we can, 6 Judge, if that's the date we'll work for it. 7 THE COURT: All right. So, we're going 8 to set that as a Motion to Suppress, 10:00 o'clock a.m., 9 January 10th, 2014. 10 Now, then if we go to a final pretrial on 11 February 14th with the jury coming in on the 24th does 12 either side anticipate needing an additional motions 13 date between those two dates? 14 MR. BLAZEK: Well, there's still the 15 Daubert issue on the expert testimony that would 16 probably be best resolved before trial. 17 THE COURT: Yes, sir. That's not likely 18 to be an all day hearing, though. We could then use 19 that 22nd of January date in the afternoon for the 20 Daubert hearing providing both sides think that's enough 21 time. MR. MATHIS: The only -- Your Honor, 22 the only motion the state's filed, I believe, was 23 designation -- or information on his expert witnesses. 24 THE COURT: Yeah. 25 MR. MATHIS: That I don't believe was Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  17 1 ruled on. 2 THE COURT: And you may not have that 3 until we've had this in camera motion that we've talked 4 about that I'll be dealing with Mr. Blazek. 5 All right. Let's set it 1:30 on January 6 22nd. We will just call this an additional motions 7 date. So, at this point we have a suppression on 8 January the 10th at 10:00 a.m. We have an additional 9 motions date January 22nd, 1:30 p.m. We have a pretrial 10 February 14th at 10:00 a.m., and any further motions 11 that may need to be addressed at that time. And then we 12 will have the jury in on the 24th. 13 Let's talk just briefly about that 14 and I realize that we are a little early on that, but I 15 would anticipate bringing in the entire panel for the 16 initial entry, voir dire, and handing out of the 17 questionnaires. Mr. Blazek, I want to defer just a 18 little bit to some of your experience and yours, Mr. 19 Carter's, as well. Would these questionnaires be of 20 such a nature that we could mail them out with the jury 21 cards, which generally go out two to three weeks before 22 the jury comes in? 23 MR. BLAZEK: Yeah. 24 MR. CARTER: Never done it. 25 MR. BLAZEK: I've never done it before, Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  18 1 but I, you know -- now -- go ahead, Billy. You 2 tell them what your concerns are. 3 MR. CARTER: Judge, the only issue that I 4 -- we could run into could be we ask them questions in 5 the questionnaire about the case in a general sense and, 6 therefore, you would be telling jurors what case they 7 would be coming in on. 8 THE COURT: Very well. 9 MR. CARTER: That's the only thing I 10 could see that could be an issue because we always, you 11 know, ask heard anything about the case, form an opinion 12 about it, you know, that will affect your ability -- 13 THE COURT: Then I think I'll go back to 14 my original presumption that we will do the initial voir 15 dire and hand out the questionnaires on that Monday and 16 proceed from there for the remainder of the week doing 17 our selections. 18 MR. BLAZEK: And the way I've seen it 19 done and it's not always done the same in every case, 20 you could -- if you start off early enough in the day 21 you can get those questionnaires back before the end of 22 the day from the panel, qualify the panel, allow the 23 parties even to make an opening general statement, sort 24 of introductory statement about, you know, introducing 25 people and the general issues of the trial without going Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  19 1 into too many facts. And then gather up those 2 questionnaires and have them scanned. And when they're 3 scanned they could either be scanned and copied or 4 scanned and just given disks to the sides so that we'll 5 have those questionnaires. And if, you know, me I'm 6 kind of old-fashioned. I like to have a hard copy to 7 work with. And then I can cause those to be printed out 8 if I need them and -- but what I'd like to have is two 9 days to review the questionnaires before we begin 10 individual voir dire, because I'm assuming we're going 11 to strike -- use our peremptories as we go. I guess 12 there's -- in theory we could reserve peremptories to 13 the end of voir dire and then use them, but I'd sure 14 like to have an idea as to the consistency of the entire 15 panel before I start exercising my peremptory 16 challenges. And I don't -- Billy is -- likes to 17 think -- to do the voir dire as -- voir dire the entire 18 panel individually and then reserve the peremptories to 19 the end. 20 MR. CARTER: Right, but I've done it both 21 ways. 22 MR. BLAZEK: And I kind of lean the other 23 way, but we've both done it both ways and then one time 24 we even did it a third way. 25 MR. CARTER: We did. Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  20 1 MR. BLAZEK: After -- but we can work 2 that out. The state will have some input as to how they 3 choose to do it and the Court has discretion in that. 4 It's not -- I don't think there's any one rule that says 5 it has to be done a particular way, but I do like to 6 review the questionnaires before I begin voir dire so 7 I'll have a sense of who's -- the type of jurors we have 8 on the panel. 9 THE COURT: Mr. Mathis, your thoughts? 10 MR. MATHIS: I agree. I anticipate the 11 state would want to wait, voir dire the panel, then do 12 peremptory challenges at the end. 13 THE COURT: All right. 14 MR. MATHIS: It's logical. 15 THE COURT: I think that's the best way 16 to plan this. We have a third week that is available 17 and I will be able to antagonize most living beings by 18 doing it that week because that is school -- spring 19 break week. That's all right. We have justice to do 20 and we'll just deal with it if we need to do that. 21 So, we will plan along those lines as far 22 as doing the initial voir dire, getting the questions 23 out, getting them turned in, initial introductory 24 statements, just introduce the case on that Monday and 25 coming back in on Wednesday to begin our individual voir Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  21 1 dire through a scheduling process. 2 MR. BLAZEK: And here's the general wild 3 card in all scheduling -- I have never tried a capital 4 case where it went to trial on the first trial setting. 5 Every capital case I've ever been in there's always been 6 something came up along the way. And I could envision 7 as I'm doing this in getting ready for this case that 8 some expert, some third party, some other issue arises 9 where I expect to be back before this Court telling you 10 how much time I need to get ready. And it's -- if it is 11 the -- if this case happens on schedule without me 12 standing up and objecting and saying I need this Motion 13 for Continuance granted, it will be the first time 14 that's ever happened, Judge. 15 THE COURT: Mr. Blazek, you've never 16 dealt with an OCD Judge and his calendar. 17 MR. BLAZEK: So... 18 THE COURT: But I do appreciate that, but 19 I think from the Court's standpoint I have to at least 20 get the plan in place because if we don't have a plan, 21 we won't be able to ever get there. The plan's as in 22 combat, they adapt once you engage and that's exactly 23 what we will do. Very well. Anything further from the 24 state today? 25 MR. MATHIS: Not today, Your Honor. Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  22 1 THE COURT: Very well. Anything further 2 from the defense today other than our in camera motion? 3 MR. BLAZEK: Mr. Carter points out 4 something that's really important. One of the important 5 issues in a capital case is developing the mitigation 6 case and this ex parte motion that we have today relates 7 to that. And there's going to be certain aspects of the 8 defendant's life that may require some travel because 9 he's been -- although he's a native, born and raised 10 here locally, you know, he spent the last eight or nine 11 years in the Marines and there's been a lot of travel 12 involved. And so, certainly recordkeeping, gathering up 13 documents, we're going to be dependent upon third 14 parties to search records and produce records, primarily 15 the military. That will probably be a big source of his 16 life story and then travel. And so, Mr. Carter 17 appropriately tells me, and I think he's probably right, 18 that it might be overly optimistic to think our 19 mitigation specialist will be able to meet our 20 timetable. 21 THE COURT: You may well be right and I 22 hadn't thought of that because of my own personal 23 experience with either military personnel records 24 jackets or the military medical records jackets, where 25 they're stored and how they're stored and the agencies Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  23 1 that are currently in charge of those things. I'm not 2 sure you can get your records in -- I mean, if you 3 started today I'm not sure you'd have them in hand on 4 February 24th. So, I think it's well brought out that 5 we're going to be doing this because both of those 6 agencies that do that storage, they're swamped to put a 7 blunt to it. 8 MR. CARTER: Judge, I just think that I 9 know in the case Michelle and I are doing right now even 10 if we didn't have DNA stuff we're -- our mitigation 11 people are -- they've been working over 200 hours 12 already and they tell us they will never be able to meet 13 our March trial deadline. They -- and I can tell the 14 Court I just -- I think that February will be a 15 difficult timeframe for us to get all of our information 16 collected to be ready for a trial at that -- in that 17 timeframe. 18 THE COURT: I think when we come back in 19 here on January 22nd we can make some reasonable 20 announcements at that time and if we need to turn it off 21 or move it to a different timeline that will be fine. I 22 jokingly said that I'm OCD about it. I'd rather get it 23 right than get it quick. So, obviously we're going to 24 do it that way. Now, if something happens between now 25 and those dates that we've got here, the January 10th, Sheila A. May (979)826-7762  24 1 January 22nd dates that obviates moving them, just let 2 us know and we'll work with you on that. I think that's 3 realistic assessments. 4 MR. BLAZEK: So, January 10th will be our 5 next plan to meet, Judge. 6 THE COURT: Very well then. 7 MR. BLAZEK: Preliminary matters. 8 THE COURT: There being nothing further 9 before the Court we stand adjourned and we'll see you in 10 chambers with your motion whenever you get a chance. If 11 you need a little bit of time, I'm sure I'll be here 12 this morning. 13 (Proceedings adjourned.) 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Sheila A.

We have for the record Mr. Mathis and Mr. Edwards 6 for the State; Mr. Blazek, Mr. Carter for the Defense. The 7 defendant is in the courtroom. Are we ready to proceed? 8 MR. EDWARDS: State is ready, Your Honor. 9 MR. BLAZEK: Defense is ready to proceed, as 10 well. 11 THE COURT: All right then. The matters that 12 I see today -- well, perhaps, Mr. Blazek, if would you cover 13 a couple of matters that you intend to proceed with today. 14 MR. BLAZEK: Judge, I visited with the 15 prosecution team this morning. And I think we're going to 16 agree to postpone any presentation on our Motion to Suppress, 17 but I think both sides are ready to proceed under the 18 Interstate Agreement on Detainers Claim. And so, that is the 19 one that I would like to go forward. 20 THE COURT: Very well. And from the State? 21 MR. EDWARDS: That's correct, Your Honor. 22 THE COURT: Very well. That was my 23 understanding, as well, but I wanted to be able to confirm 24 that on the record. Very well, Mr. Edwards, I believe this 25 has now placed the burden on the State.  5 1 MR. EDWARDS: You know frankly, Judge, I was not 2 here last time. I am not sure that the burden is still on -- 3 have they done their thing? It is our time; is that right? 4 MR. BLAZEK: Judge, I assume that the burden on 5 this and the burden of persuasion, the burden of proof on 6 this always rests on the Defense. But I think most of the 7 facts -- they have most of the facts. So I am not sure if we 8 should -- I have tried to submit stipulations that I thought 9 would be agreeable to both sides. I am not sure if they are. 10 The alternative would be to call Mr. Edwards to 11 the stand and have him to -- I could ask him some questions, 12 see what he agrees with, more like Request for Admissions. I 13 think we agree basically on all of the facts. Many of the 14 facts we agree on are in his response, but his response is 15 not evidence, I know that. So I have got to get it on the 16 record, so I don't know if we wanted to try by stipulation or 17 if you want to testify about what we agreed to. 18 MR. EDWARDS: Tell you what, Judge, I will run 19 through my fact pattern, which you have before you and 20 counsel has got, as well, and stipulate as we go along and 21 maybe that will satisfy what you are talking about. 22 MR. BLAZEK: I think it will. 23 THE COURT: I think that would be the best -- 24 most equitable way of doing that and both of you, obviously, 25 are valued members of the Court and take what you do say as  6 1 intended. 2 MR. EDWARDS: Thank you, Judge. If it please 3 the Court, for the record the State has filed State's 4 Response to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, which includes a 5 recitation of what I believe the facts are in this case; as 6 well as accompanying Exhibits, State's 1 through 4. And, 7 quite frankly, those are the things which we are willing to 8 stipulate to in addition to the fact that I believe -- I 9 think counsel mentioned something about the fact that their 10 client had been in Waller County custody from May 24th, I 11 believe it was, continuously until this time. We, of course, 12 would stipulate to that; don't think any objection to that. 13 If you look at my fact pattern here, Judge, I think it's 14 fairly clear and not sure I'm going to go through it all. 15 The long and short of it is these murders 16 occurred on March -- on or about March 10th of 2010. 17 Mr. Lasker fled the jurisdiction after the murders and it 18 became known that he was on leave here in the jurisdiction 19 from the Marine Corps. And along with that it became known 20 specifically that there was a bank robbery in California in 21 October -- on or about the 30th of 2010. 22 There was a weapon used in that bank robbery 23 and, as it turns out, it was in his possession when 24 Mr. Lasker was caught. I am not sure exactly how it came 25 into the hands of the FBI people and the people in  7 1 California. But long and short of it, they were able to tie 2 that weapon to Mr. Lasker in the bank robbery. 3 Well, anyway, they did some forensic work on 4 that -- on that weapon. And I believe, although I haven't 5 mentioned here, believe DNA connection as well. But long and 6 short of it is the connection was made between Mr. Lasker, 7 that weapon -- that weapon and the murders down here in 8 Waller County. And that is what we became aware of. 9 In any event, the Rangers went down to 10 California. They interviewed Mr. Lasker. Mr. Lasker made 11 what we would describe -- and that will be a bone of 12 contention later on -- but the long and short of it that he 13 made some -- a confession to the killings, as well. He was 14 charged, I believe, in January of 2011. And I would -- 15 although the mechanism for it is unclear, we filed -- I 16 presume that the Waller County filed detainers on or about 17 that same date for him to be held there in California to 18 stand trial. 19 Well, we became -- then things became a little 20 bit muddled because there was a lengthy period of time it 21 seemed like where he was in California standing trial for -- 22 for the bank robberies. We eventually determined that -- and 23 during this period of time we were pretty much in constant 24 contact with the folks there in California and became clear 25 that they generally wanted to take care of their case there  8 1 in California as you might expect and then we can transport 2 him down here. 3 This is -- these are informal conversations, 4 so forth, we had with the people there in California. Well, 5 we found out that Mr. Lasker, in fact, got 121 months for the 6 bank robberies and he -- that was given on January the 30th 7 of 2013. Now just prior to that -- not just prior, but July 8 19th of 2012, we received something, which you'll notice on 9 Page 2 is described Notice and Demand to District Court 10 et cetera, et cetera, from presumably Mr. Lasker on or about 11 July the 19th of 2012. This did not come -- and this, in 12 effect, was a demand under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure 13 Article 51.14 which, of course, is the adopted device which 14 the State uses to get folks back and forth different 15 jurisdictions to stand trial; particularly, under Article 3 16 which is, in essence, the defendant's or the suspect's demand 17 that he be brought back. 18 We received this, I guess, July -- on or about 19 July 19th, 2012. This did not come, as required by the Code 20 itself, by certified mail. Now another requirement that is 21 required, Your Honor, is that this demand has to be 22 accompanied by a certificate which states certain pieces of 23 information. This is all in the code section. I have quoted 24 that. That certificate was not present with that July 19th 25 communication nor any of the information which is required.  9 1 There's a fair amount of case law that says if 2 you don't get that information, State doesn't get that 3 information, Court doesn't get that information; then that 4 does not trigger the demand, the 180-day demand for the man 5 to be brought back and for him to stand trial, that hard 6 deadline of 180 days. 7 Well, during this time in August 31st, 2012, 8 so forth, we were again in communication with Mr. Ed Perez, 9 the administrator or some sort of a fellow down there at the 10 federal loading facility where Mr. Lasker was now 11 incarcerated. We were exchanging forms and so forth, 12 assuming at this point that we were operating under Article 13 4, which is -- which is the provision which we use in order 14 to get a prisoner back. 15 Now Article 3 is the prisoner wants to come 16 back. Article 4 is the prisoner doesn't want to come back 17 and we are trying to get him back. We were working under 18 that presumption. We were communicating with the people in 19 California to get the various forms. And it was a lengthy 20 thing. We had an Article 4 form. We had -- you know, there 21 were a number of forms we had to get. We were filling them 22 out and sending them back. Quite frankly, that took some 23 time. 24 Then when we requested a particular form we 25 got -- on February 8th of 2013, we got one of the forms we  10 1 had requested, but we also got what was described as another 2 motion for him to be brought back made under Article 3. Now 3 I believe that was February the 8th, 2013. That took me a 4 long time to figure out whether or not we had, in fact, 5 received that certified mail. We would stipulate, however -- 6 although, I don't have the green copy in front of me. We did 7 receive that on or about February the 8th of 2013. 8 Okay. Arguably, that trips the 180-day deal. 9 The problem was, of course, that certificate, although was 10 accompanied, was part of the -- was part of the 11 communication -- part of the Motion was not complete in two 12 respects. Number one, it left blank the date of parole 13 eligibility. Also left blank any mention of the decisions 14 may or may not have been made by the Parole Board concerning 15 the inmate. Of course, this is almost half of the 16 information that is required that we get prior to the 17 tripping of that 180-day guideline -- or not guideline, that 18 hard date. 19 Okay. So the long and short of it, we 20 arguably we have a correct Article 3 request to be taken back 21 or brought back for trial; however, the certificate is 22 itself -- it comes certified mail with stipulation; however, 23 we have a certified -- we have a certificate which is, in 24 fact, defective at least in half the respect. And, of 25 course, the case law says if we don't get all this  11 1 information then the 180 days is not tripped. 2 So our position is that the initial one in 3 July and the one in February in and of themselves are 4 defective. We haven't gotten the proper notice we were 5 entitled to and that is supported by the case law concerning 6 whether or not this person is going to make a successful 7 Article 3 -- Article 3 demand to be brought back to trial. 8 Well, anyway, time marches on and we are 9 successful, either through Article 3 and/or Article 4, to 10 eventually get this man back. I believe on May 1st of 2013, 11 we forwarded the various IAD Form 6 that had now been signed 12 by the proper Texas IAD administrator to the federal warden. 13 Then less than a month, on May 31st, 2013, Mr. Lasker is 14 brought back here to the -- to Waller County. 15 Now, on -- frankly, the Court can recall this 16 because it was kind of unusual, I think. On June 4th of 17 2013, which would have been before the running of our 180 18 days, of course, we brought Mr. Lasker in for his initial 19 court appearance. As you recall, Your Honor, I make this 20 recitation here in the -- in the facts and in the arguments, 21 he stood before you and said, Judge, I have a number of 22 motions which I demand -- actually said I demand that you 23 hear them. 24 Well, the Judge quite properly -- Your Honor 25 quite properly said, Well, sir, you don't -- do you want  12 1 counsel? He didn't make any real response to that, but the 2 long and short of it, prior to that in one of his IAD Forms, 3 particularly the one filed on February the 8th, he checked 4 off the box saying, I want court-appointed attorney. So you 5 are stuck -- Court is stuck at this point. 6 You are saying basically he has these 7 contested, substantive motions and he is requesting 8 court-appointed attorney, hasn't been assigned one yet; so 9 the Court had no alternative, I believe. We would suggest on 10 June the 4th of 2013 that was, in effect, a reset of the case 11 so he could get counsel. He was assigned counsel, I believe, 12 very shortly thereafter. I believe on June the 4th, the 13 Regional Public Defender was assigned on June 4th, 2013. For 14 whatever reason, which is probably not important for this 15 hearing or any other hearing, on June -- they got switched 16 around because that was not an appropriate thing. Mr. Blazek 17 was appointed and then Mr. Carter was appointed on June 6th. 18 We had an opportunity to discuss. And I don't 19 have the specific date when that was, but I do remember us 20 talking -- to talk informally with Mr. Blazek and it became 21 very clear to us, to the State, that this deadline was 22 important to the Defense and they weren't going to do any -- 23 they weren't going to take any effort to get their man into 24 Court for any kind of motions or that sort of thing. We took 25 the initiative. And on September 9th, 2013, the Court heard  13 1 and granted a second continuance for good cause shown and we 2 laid it all out there. That is pretty much where we are now. 3 November 4th, 2013, that was the Continuance date, I believe, 4 that the defendant was there with counsel. He waived 5 arraignment and there was a scheduling order. 6 The second part of my paper, Judge, my little 7 missive there to the Court, is the case law that 8 substantiates that. Now I would put in another argument. 9 And I am not going to spend a whole lot of time on that. 10 There is a -- there is this fundamental idea that the various 11 branches should not interfere with the others. And it would 12 be my position that this Legislative creature, this 180-day 13 demand that we have somebody tried, particularly in all 14 cases, they don't make any distinction between that. They 15 say everything from misdemeanor or whatever, you know, 16 whatever -- all the way up to a capital murder needs to get 17 tried from -- 180 days from the time that a demand is made. 18 They don't even take into consideration all the time that is 19 necessary to get the guy hauled in from wherever he happens 20 to be incarcerated, that we have to get my guy tried within 21 180 days. 22 And really, the Draconian solution to that -- 23 it's not like in a bond situation where you have to turn him 24 loose on bond. The Draconian solution in this particular 25 case is you lose the right. This is to be dismissed with  14 1 prejudice, end of story. And it is my assertion and I have 2 explained, cited some case law and so forth, Your Honor, that 3 that is an improper infringement on the responsibilities of 4 this Court; and by extension, the prosecution, to deal with 5 cases that have been indicted correctly and have been brought 6 to this Court correctly. And it deprives the State of the -- 7 and the people of the State of the right to try people and to 8 do that job, which they have been assigned by the 9 Constitution. So there is obviously a Constitutional issue 10 in this matter. 11 THE COURT: Let me get in here and see if we 12 can clean up the part of what we will call factual 13 stipulations that were alluded to. 14 MR. EDWARDS: Just going there, Judge. 15 THE COURT: I have -- in your argument here as 16 I followed your brief, I have come up with about 20 and I 17 think probably in order to expedite it, Mr. Blazek and 18 Mr. Carter, what I will do I will just cover each of these in 19 the factual portions here and determine whether or not they 20 are stipulated and whether or not we need to receive 21 additional evidence on any of these factual stipulations. 22 Does that seem reasonable, sir? 23 MR. BLAZEK: Yes, it does, Your Honor. 24 THE COURT: All right. The first one that I 25 have is that the murder occurred on or about March 10th of  15 1 2010. 2 MR. BLAZEK: Judge, we don't think that the 3 date of the offense is relevant to our IADA claim. We would 4 ask the Court to take judicial knowledge of the indictment, 5 it being returned, and the dates alleged there is what the 6 State's allegations are. But we are not going to stipulate 7 there even was a murder. But we do allow -- we would 8 encourage the Court to take judicial knowledge of the 9 indictment in the files and the dates alleged there to show 10 the chronology of the events that are relevant. 11 THE COURT: That is reasonable. The Court 12 will take judicial notice of the indictment itself. I do 13 believe that date of the indictment may have some efficacy 14 what we are doing here. 15 MR. BLAZEK: I agree, Your Honor. We would 16 ask the Court to take judicial knowledge of that, as well. 17 THE COURT: Very well, sir. The first matter 18 would be that the indictment was returned on or about January 19 27th of 2011. And as we are not dealing with the 20 Suppression, then we will also not deal with the issue of 21 whether or not the Rangers went to California. 22 The second matter that I see of some relevance 23 here is that Mr. Lasker was sentenced to 121 months on or 24 about January 30th of 2013 in the federal penitentiary. 25 MR. BLAZEK: Did you say January of 2013?  16 1 THE COURT: That is the date, yes, sir. 2 MR. BLAZEK: Judge, I don't have first-hand 3 knowledge of that. I know that the -- and I was surprised to 4 hear when the prosecutor said that because the first Request 5 for Disposition occurred on July 19th, 2012. I was under the 6 impression that he was already in the federal penitentiary. 7 There is correspondence with that request that shows 8 documentation that he was serving a sentence at that time. 9 And so, I think that there may be some mistake there. 10 THE COURT: Mr. Edwards, I think we may have a 11 year error there. 12 MR. EDWARDS: Okay. I wouldn't be surprised 13 with that. I am -- I have combed through this a number of 14 times. Frankly, I don't have a specific federal judgment. I 15 am taking this, quite frankly, off of -- let me see. I am 16 taking this off of State's Exhibit Number 4. 17 Anyway, we got a letter from them. It is 18 dated January -- saying "them" -- a letter from the federal 19 correction complex there in California on January the 31st, 20 2013. It's in response to, I presume this is to Mr. Lasker 21 to his Request for Temporary Custody pursuant to Interstate 22 Compact Agreement. And then that is what got the February 23 8th notice marching along. 24 THE COURT: Well, gentlemen, I would propose 25 we attempt to obtain a certified copy of the judgment and  17 1 sentence out of the federal court. That document thereafter 2 would then speak for itself as to the date that that was -- 3 that became -- 4 MR. EDWARDS: Very well, Your Honor. I will 5 take the responsibility on -- for doing that, Your Honor. 6 THE COURT: Very well, sir. 7 MR. BLAZEK: I will point out that in State's 8 Exhibit Number 1, which purports to be dated July 2nd, 2012, 9 Dominique Lasker's address is listed as the federal 10 penitentiary, which normally wouldn't be in the federal 11 penitentiary if he was still awaiting trial. 12 THE COURT: Yes, sir, noted. And I think that 13 that is where we have the January 30th -- which year becomes 14 the issue. 15 MR. EDWARDS: And, of course, that was the 16 problem, Judge, is that I have got various documents that 17 recite various locations. And they are directed to -- the 18 long and short of it was difficult to find and I don't have a 19 judgment. 20 THE COURT: All right. Well, the next thing 21 Mr. Edwards had cited in his motion is that on July 19th of 22 2012, there had been a Notice and Demand to district attorney 23 and that dealt, of course, with the provisions presumably 24 under Article 3. So would there be a stipulation that, in 25 fact, a Notice of Demand to district attorney for trial  18 1 disposition was received by the State on July 19th of 2012, 2 that was not mailed by certified mail? 3 MR. BLAZEK: We so stipulate, Your Honor. 4 THE COURT: Very well, sir. 5 MR. EDWARDS: That is our State's Exhibit 6 Number 1, Judge? 7 THE COURT: It is, sir. 8 The next matter that I have noted here is the 9 Motion did not contain certain requisite information that was 10 outlined in Mr. Edwards' motion dealing with parole 11 eligibility, good time calculations, decision to the parole 12 board. 13 MR. BLAZEK: That doesn't require stipulation, 14 Judge. That is just something -- the document speaks for 15 itself and the statute speaks for itself so... 16 THE COURT: Very well. Next matter is that on 17 or about August 31st, 2012, Waller County requested and 18 received IAD Form 5 pertaining to Article 4. 19 MR. BLAZEK: We're willing to so stipulate, 20 Your Honor. 21 THE COURT: Very well, sir. 22 January 2nd of 2013, the State sent a request 23 to the warden of the holding authority, Request for Temporary 24 Custody. 25 MR. BLAZEK: Defense would stipulate to that,  19 1 as well. 2 THE COURT: Sir, you can maintain your 3 seating. We will give you plenty of exercise on other 4 things. 5 MR. BLAZEK: Thank you, Judge. I was thinking 6 about it if I do this for every one of these, I am going to 7 be exhausted. 8 THE COURT: There was a notice delivered on 9 February 8th of 2013, pertaining to the IAD Forms on Notice 10 of Untried Placement. That was initiated under Article 3 of 11 the Interstate Agreement. 12 MR. BLAZEK: If you will recall, Judge, that 13 is one where the State is willing to stipulate they received 14 that by certified mail. That is -- and we do agree to that 15 stipulation and I think that is State's Exhibit Number 4 16 attached to their response. 17 THE COURT: Is that correct, Mr. Edwards? 18 MR. EDWARDS: That's correct, Judge. Again, I 19 don't have the green copy, but I personally communicated with 20 the folks in California. They said they have a green copy 21 with our office's signature on it. 22 THE COURT: Very well. So that stipulation is 23 is accepted. 24 What we may end up doing is we may go back 25 into the court reporter's record, determine these, formalize  20 1 them as a better way. 2 The next three stipulations basically -- and I 3 am not saying that they are stipulated. I am requesting if 4 they are stipulated or not, would be the facts of April 8th, 5 the -- April 17th, 2013 sending of the forms, and the May 1st 6 of 2013 forward of the IAD Form 4. Are those stipulated? 7 MR. BLAZEK: Well, Judge, I am not sure -- you 8 have said the dates. I am not sure what events happened on 9 those dates. If you could be more specific or if the State 10 could refresh my recollection on those. 11 MR. EDWARDS: Look at Page -- 12 THE COURT: Page 4, roughly the top half of 13 the page. 14 MR. BLAZEK: Okay. Let me get there. So the 15 April 8th, April 17th and May 1st? 16 THE COURT: Yes, sir. 17 MR. BLAZEK: We, too, would stipulate to those 18 facts. 19 THE COURT: Thank you, sir. By -- 20 Mr. Edwards, for clarity because this is your Motion that I 21 am referring to, I am assuming the State has now stipulated 22 to these, as well? 23 MR. EDWARDS: That's correct, Judge. And we 24 will check on the last one, that certified judgment. I don't 25 have any great information on that.  21 1 THE COURT: Date of return of Mr. Lasker to be 2 May 24th of 2013. 3 MR. BLAZEK: That is our stipulation, as 4 well. 5 THE COURT: Mr. Lasker's first court 6 appearance in this court was June 4th. 7 MR. BLAZEK: And, Judge, I wasn't present but 8 we would ask the Court to take judicial knowledge. I mean, 9 the Court was here or not. And if it was, well, then you 10 will know that he was here and whatever happened happened on 11 that date. We don't have a transcript of it or a Statement 12 of Facts, but we'd ask the Court to take judicial knowledge 13 of its recollection. 14 MR. EDWARDS: I believe I looked at the docket 15 sheet and determined that, Judge. 16 THE COURT: I am looking at the docket sheet 17 and it is an entry for 6-4 of '13; defendant present, counsel 18 appointed through regional public defender for capital cases. 19 So duly noted, Mr. Blazek. 20 That would be the next one, as well. For 21 clarity of the record, while not necessarily germane but for 22 further explanation, the Court did appoint the regional 23 public defender, an organization with which Waller County 24 does have a contract for the representation of defendants 25 charged with capital murder. And we determined within about  22 1 48 hours that the contract with the Regional Public Defender 2 did not cover the time frame of the alleged incident of March 3 10th. Therefore, it was necessary that I find other 4 qualified counsel, whereupon the Court contacted Mr. Frank 5 Blazek and that representation was accepted. 6 I believe that does reflect the June 6th -- 7 and I am not asking for a stipulation. The record will speak 8 for itself, but that is by further explanation of how 9 Mr. Blazek and Mr. Carter came to be engaged in the case. 10 What further stipulations, Mr. Edwards, would 11 you find necessary or, Mr. Blazek, that you would find 12 necessary under the circumstances to get us to where we are? 13 MR. EDWARDS: Well, Judge, of course I would 14 ask for a stipulation that the certificate that accompanied 15 the February 8th document was incomplete and in the way that 16 I have enumerated. I anticipate a different approach, 17 Mr. Blazek, on that. 18 MR. BLAZEK: The document speaks for itself. 19 I don't think we have to stipulate that those two boxes were 20 left blank. By way of argument, this is not -- by way of 21 argument, I would ask the Court to take judicial knowledge of 22 federal law and this is easy to explain. 23 If you were to Google the phrase "federal 24 parole law" you would find that it is virtually an 25 anachronism because people that are sentenced in the modern  23 1 era aren't eligible for parole. There is no parole 2 eligibility date and there are no actions that the federal 3 board can take on the vast majority of federal convicts. 4 There are a few rare exceptions if people are convicted out 5 of the District of Columbia or if they were convicted prior 6 to, I think, 1987 or '88 that would be relevant. But the 7 fact that these were left blank, we would argue doesn't mean 8 they are incomplete. It just reflects current federal law, 9 that there is no parole eligibility date and there are no 10 actions. 11 THE COURT: For -- 12 MR. BLAZEK: That is argument; not a fact 13 stipulation. 14 THE COURT: For completion of the record, the 15 four exhibits that were filed by the State on their Motion, 16 they speak for themselves. I'd like to see if we can get 17 these incorporated into the record for any further review. 18 MR. BLAZEK: Actually, they should be admitted 19 into evidence, Your Honor. 20 THE COURT: State's 1, 2, 3 and 4, 21 accompanying the State's Response to Defense Motion to 22 Dismiss are admitted into the record for the manner in which 23 they are presented, not necessarily for any validity of the 24 content. 25 (State's Exhibit Nos. 1,2,3,4 offered and  24 1 admitted into evidence) 2 MR. BLAZEK: The only additional fact that I 3 think needs to be established by stipulation is that my 4 client was in federal custody, federal penitentiary, pursuant 5 to a federal conviction at the time that he made his request 6 that are reflected in, I believe, State's Exhibits 1 and 4 7 that are now in evidence. And also, the Court -- well, that 8 is by way of stipulation. There is virtually every content 9 in the file the Court needs to take by the Court's file, the 10 Court needs to take judicial knowledge of. And we would 11 point out that for those motions received by the State, there 12 is corresponding motions received by the Court. 13 In each of the three cause numbers there is a 14 Request for Speedy Disposition under the IADA comparable to 15 Number 1 and Number 4. And the district clerk was able to 16 keep records, kept the envelopes so you can tell that the 17 State's Exhibit Number 1, its corresponding was received by 18 the Court by first-class mail. State's Exhibit Number 4 19 envelope in the Court's file shows that it was received by 20 certified mail. 21 And so, if the Court takes judicial knowledge 22 of the contents of its files and if we can resolve when he 23 was in prison in the federal prison, I think we will have all 24 the facts necessary for the Court to make a ruling on this 25 case. But we might want to wait on that until we do that. I  25 1 am -- I am confident that my client was in the federal prison 2 at the time he made the request, but I understand the State's 3 hesitation until they get that judgment. And then I would be 4 prepared to make argument once that issue is resolved. 5 THE COURT: The Court does take notice of all 6 of those matters and knowledge of the matters that are 7 contained in these three particular indictment files being 8 13703, 704 and 705. And, yes, since Mr. Edwards is going to 9 undertake getting the certified copy of the federal judgment, 10 that final one will have to wait until we get that so we can 11 determine the actual entry date. 12 MR. EDWARDS: Actually, somewhere J.R. is 13 working on that. We may be able to do that forthwith. 14 Frankly, he was -- it is our understanding and we will 15 substantiate this here when we get a judgment, that 16 Mr. Lasker was in some kind of custody continuously from the 17 date of his arrest in California until this date. 18 In regard to State's Exhibit Number 1, so 19 forth, I have to reiterate that while this Court may have 20 received their copy first-class, I have no way of knowing. I 21 don't have the envelope any more, don't know whether we kept 22 the envelope. I have no way of knowing that. And that, of 23 course, goes to the -- you know, the rationale for requiring 24 certified mail to be the argument. 25 And as to the other issue concerning the  26 1 parole, I mean all they had to do was say none or not 2 applicable instead of leaving the requesting state up in the 3 air. Of course, that speaks also to the rationale for why 4 that information is even required. Thank you, Your Honor. 5 THE COURT: All right. All right. So with 6 the exception of that one item that is remaining outstanding, 7 which we may or may not be able to solve here in the near 8 term, further arguments that you wish to make on the Motion? 9 MR. EDWARDS: May I have one moment, Your 10 Honor? 11 THE COURT: Sure. 12 MR. EDWARDS: Judge, what counsel would ask 13 the Court also is to take into consideration prior arguments 14 already heard in this Court. 15 THE COURT: So noted. 16 Mr. Blazek. 17 MR. BLAZEK: Yes, Your Honor, well, there are 18 two requests and, you know, I will concede that the second 19 request, State's Exhibit Number 4, that is a much better 20 request and is much more likely to be sustained as a valid 21 request achieving everything that is required to make it a 22 valid request than the first. 23 But on the other hand, there is still a 24 possibility that the first one may be sustained. You know, 25 again, there are lots of problems with it. If you look at  27 1 the case law every -- every case is factually different and 2 every case is factually treated differently. And I am sure 3 the State will come up with a compelling argument of why the 4 many, many failures of -- in this first request meet its 5 fate. 6 We are going to make an argument that if you 7 look in the totality, you know, similar to the argument made 8 in that Votto case that the Court of Criminal Appeals ruled 9 on. The Corpus Christi Court of Appeals thought, well, yeah, 10 there are lots of deficiencies, but if you look at his Motion 11 to Dismiss that followed his request that corrected it, it 12 solved all the problems, all that adequate information was 13 there. His case is a little bit different. There are 14 different facts. And so, we are going to be making a similar 15 argument. Again, some Court is going to have to review it 16 and say is this closer to Votto or closest to one of the 17 others that says it is sufficient. And so, they will judge 18 on that. 19 But on the second one, I think the State is 20 going to have a hard time convincing any court that it wasn't 21 complete. It satisfied procedurally the mechanism. The two 22 things that were left blank were appropriately left blank. 23 Admittedly, there are other ways to do it besides leaving 24 them blank. They could have said none, not applicable, there 25 are other ways to do it, but blank is also accurate, I  28 1 believe, in the context of the circumstances of this case. 2 Now assuming that we have a valid request for 3 a speedy disposition, then the question is, well, what is the 4 date that this case should have commenced trial? If it is 5 the first one, my calculations say it should have been 6 commenced on or before January 14th, 2013. Well, our client 7 hadn't even arrived in Waller County by that time. So if 8 that is the one, then we win clearly. 9 If it is the second one, again, the date is 10 August 7th, 2013, is a different date, later in the year. If 11 the February 8th request was a valid request, the 180 days is 12 August 7th. And the State's argument that that one court 13 appearance by the defendant without counsel constituted some 14 event that necessitated a delay, I don't think we will 15 withstand scrutiny on appeal. 16 It appears to me there were motions on file. 17 The Court will take judicial notice what motions were on 18 file. I believe the significant ones that implicitly he was 19 talking about was his Motion to Dismiss pursuant to the IADA 20 claim. I don't think requesting a Hearing on a Motion to 21 Dismiss under the IADA claim is going to constitute some 22 cause for delay and; therefore, negate his ability to present 23 an IADA claim. 24 But there was no event that would have 25 prevented the State from requesting a setting, requesting a  29 1 trial prior to August 7th, 2013. The defendant was in 2 custody. He had counsel prior to August 7th, 2013. They 3 could have requested a setting and forced the Defense to make 4 a decision, do we want to take advantage of our dates 5 pursuant to the IADA claim or do we want to ask for a 6 continuance. 7 So the Defense would have had that option. If 8 the defendants had asked for a continuance and if the Court 9 had granted it, well, that would have solved the State's IADA 10 problem because the delay was requested by the Defense and 11 the delay was granted by the Judge in a Motion for 12 Continuance and; therefore, we couldn't complain that we were 13 being denied a speedy trial because we are the ones asking 14 for a delay. But that didn't happen. We were never asked, 15 Do you want to go now or do you want a speedy trial? The 16 only thing on file with the Court was a Request for a Speedy 17 Disposition and Request for Dismissal. 18 And so, we were entitled to a speedy 19 disposition at that time and ultimately entitled to a 20 dismissal after August 7th, 2013. So, you know, those are 21 the facts. No one can predict with certainty how the law is 22 going to apply in any of these things and, admittedly, it is 23 technical. 24 My understanding is under the case law that Ex 25 Parte Oscar Doster, which came out of Freestone County, Court  30 1 of Criminal Appeals has held that if the IADA claim is valid, 2 the trial court should deny it. If the trial court -- if the 3 trial court grants it -- excuse me -- if the claim is valid, 4 the trial court should grant it and dismiss the case. The 5 State would then have the right to appeal. That would be an 6 appealable decision. They could appeal it to the Court of 7 Appeals and wherever it goes from there. If the trial judge 8 denies it, the defendant cannot appeal that decision. They 9 have held it's tantamount to ruling on a Motion to Dismiss 10 for Failure to do a Speedy Trial. They say, Well, you can 11 appeal that after a conviction if it ever occurs -- happens. 12 I would think there is -- unresolved as 13 whether or not we can resolve this pre-trial if you deny it 14 by Mandamus. So if this Court grants it, I am sure the State 15 will appeal and make sure their arguments are fully heard by 16 the Court of Appeals. It will be accelerated and that will 17 take place. 18 If this Court denies our motion, then 19 Mr. Carter and I have to make a decision, will we seek 20 Mandamus? If we do seek Mandamus, then the appellate courts 21 will have to decide two things: Do we have an adequate 22 remedy based on appeal so that Mandamus doesn't apply; 23 and/or, two, are we right or wrong on the law? They might 24 deny our Mandamus -- they could deny it because we are wrong 25 or they could deny it because we have a remedy on appeal if  31 1 they make that argument. There may be some other creative 2 arguments that I can think of. Either way I'd like to try to 3 get this matter resolved as quickly as possible because it 4 may be determinative in a number of ways. 5 So we think we are right, especially with 6 regard to the second request, which we think satisfies every 7 aspect of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers and the time 8 limits just weren't met. We think we're entitled to a 9 dismissal. And so, we would urge the Court to do that. 10 THE COURT: Further? 11 MR. EDWARDS: Well, just to reiterate again 12 what we have talked about. It is our position, Judge, that 13 the first notice was clearly defective in a number of 14 respects. It is very clear from the case law that if a 15 certificate is not there, then it's gone. Secondly, we 16 didn't get it by certified mail; again, it's gone. 17 The second request, Judge, our position is 18 that it's defective in that it didn't contain the information 19 that is required by the law in its certificate. 20 And then, thirdly, even if you were to say it 21 was effective, then I don't know what else this Court could 22 have done when we came into Court here and the defendant says 23 I have motions to be heard. If we had gone forward with 24 those motions and arguably he had lost, then you have got a 25 situation where I am not represented by counsel and I  32 1 requested to be represented by counsel. It is a catch-22. 2 The Court did the proper thing. This Court 3 reset the case so he could get counsel. That is where we are 4 right now. If that is the case, then we are in good shape as 5 far as the time frames here. Our position, of course, are 6 diametrically opposed to defense counsel and this -- I don't 7 know whether it's an argument necessarily that it's a little 8 bit more convenient to have this thing granted as opposed to 9 denied, but the law is not there in regard to that. And we 10 would ask that you deny that motion. 11 THE COURT: Very well. 12 MR. BLAZEK: Do we have a timetable when we 13 are going to find out about the date of conviction? Any 14 idea? 15 MR. EDWARDS: He's working on it now, Judge. 16 MR. MATHIS: We've got the subscription to the 17 federal courts. He is going to see if he can just print out 18 the judgment; won't be a certified judgment. 19 MR. BLAZEK: That's all right. I bet it will 20 tell us the date. 21 MR. MATHIS: He is trying to pull it. 22 MR. BLAZEK: Judge, we just ask that you wait 23 until that is part of the record before you rule so we will 24 have a complete record. 25 THE COURT: I will do that. And we will wait  33 1 pending that. 2 While we have you in court, I am going to ask 3 that we go off the record and ask you gentlemen to approach 4 so we can talk about a couple of other preliminary matters 5 that has to do with administration of the case. 6 (Discussion off the record) 7 THE COURT: Back on the record. 8 Let the record reflect we had a brief 9 conference at the bench dealing the scheduling of matters and 10 the attaining of information, and during that brief recess 11 the document was delivered to Mr. Edwards. Mr. Edwards, 12 would you like to proceed on that? 13 MR. EDWARDS: Yes, Judge, I'm going to run a 14 couple of copies, but I'm going to tender what appears to be 15 a judgment, United States District Court, Southern District 16 of California, file-stamped by the Clerk of the U.S. 17 District, December 16th, 2011. That would be the date of 18 Mr. Lasker's sentencing. And I would presume sometime after 19 that he was transported to the federal penitentiary; again, 20 don't know the exact date of that. 21 THE COURT: Very well. Mr. Blazek, do you 22 have any objection to that document? 23 MR. EDWARDS: Tender that for inspection, copy 24 when we get a chance. 25 MR. BLAZEK: No objection to State's Number 5.  34 1 And based on that, we would -- we would ask if the State can 2 stipulate that at the time that the defendant signed and 3 submitted State's Exhibit Number 1, his first Request for 4 Speedy Disposition under the IADA, that he was serving the 5 time in the federal prison at that time. 6 THE COURT: First then State's 5, Motion -- 7 Exhibit 5 is admitted. 8 (State's Exhibit No. 5 offered and admitted 9 into evidence) 10 THE COURT: Mr. Edwards, on that stipulation? 11 MR. EDWARDS: This is on State's Exhibit 12 Number 1. 13 MR. BLAZEK: State's Exhibit Number 1. 14 MR. EDWARDS: Again, the document speaks for 15 itself, appears Mr. Lasker signed it on July the 2nd of 2012, 16 so that would post-date his sentencing. 17 MR. BLAZEK: In theory, he could have been out 18 on bond on appeal, but stipulate that he was -- 19 MR. EDWARDS: I'll stipulate that he was in 20 custody at that time. 21 THE COURT: Very well then. That becomes an 22 additional stipulation for the record. 23 MR. EDWARDS: We will have some copies for you 24 shortly. 25 THE COURT: Very well then. That appears to  35 1 conclude our argument on this. Are there any other matters 2 need to be taken care of today? 3 MR. EDWARDS: Nothing from the State, Your 4 Honor. 5 MR. BLAZEK: Nothing from the Defense. 6 THE COURT: Very well. I do note in the 7 gallery there are a number of people that are interested in 8 this case. Ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate your interest 9 in what is going on. These are significant matters. It is 10 certainly something of note in your lives and I understand 11 that completely. 12 I do want to let you know that from the 13 Court's perspective, the State of Texas and the Defense are 14 handling matters as expeditiously as they can. That is from 15 my perspective that I see that. And there are complex 16 matters that are being dealt with here. And the scheduling 17 of these matters does appear to take a great deal of time. 18 For that, I simply apologize to you because 19 these things are not meant to be convoluted in any way. But 20 when we are dealing with the matters of life and death as we 21 are right now, not only of the victims of this alleged 22 offense, but also with Mr. Lasker's life and death, things 23 have to be done right. It is much better to do them 24 correctly than it is to do them quickly. 25 So I just beg your tolerance as we go through  36 1 this process. I do ask that you continue to stay in contact 2 with the Victim's Witness Coordinator. And she will endeavor 3 to keep you abreast of what we are doing in this matter. 4 With that, anything further we need to cover 5 today? 6 MR. EDWARDS: Just as a housekeeping matter -- 7 that last document, have I given you a copy, Judge? 8 THE COURT: The original will be Number 5. 9 MR. EDWARDS: That is what I wanted to do. 10 THE COURT: I don't have it yet. 11 MR. EDWARDS: Number 5. 12 THE COURT: With the admission of Number 5, 13 then we are adjourned for today. Thank you. 14 (State's Exhibit No. 5 admitted) 15 (Proceedings concluded, 9:55 a.m.) 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  37 1 THE STATE OF TEXAS 2 COUNTY OF WALLER 3 4 I, Robyn S.
