IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NOS. WR-61,939-01 & WR-61,939-02
IN RE DAVID DOW AND JEFFREY R. NEWBERRY, Respondents
ON RESPONDENTS’ MOTION FOR REHEARING ON SHOW CAUSE
AND CONTEMPT HEARING FOR UNTIMELY
FILED DOCUMENTS IN APPLICANT PAREDES’S CASE
FROM CAUSE NO. 2000-CR-6067B
IN THE 399th JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
BEXAR COUNTY
R ICHARDSON , J., filed a dissenting statement to the denial of Respondents’
Motion for Rehearing in which J OHNSON, J., joined.
DISSENTING STATEMENT
With all due respect, borrowing from the wisdom of Abraham Lincoln, in most cases
a lawyer “who represents himself has a fool for a client.” On the heels of being held in
contempt by this Court, Respondents decided it might have been prudent to hire counsel to
represent them on this matter. They have retained counsel and seek rehearing so that their
newly retained counsel may present their defense in this matter. I would recommend
granting the Respondents’ Motion for Rehearing for that purpose.
