7) ATTACHMENT D 1 ~ 5 JAN 12, 2014 / 5 UNKNOWN FILING.

The SMITH COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, LOIS ROGERS' blatant violations of duties and lack
of requisite process has deprived and prejudiced the interests for RELATOR'S RIGHT to
include a fair and impartial review of facts through relevant material, and to REDRESS
THE GOVERNMENT in a judicial process, that as designed and structured was to be`
implemented as practiced without an oppressive, abusive, and_grossly prejudicial_
application to this RELATOR. The actions of the PARTICIPANT is totally lacking in even
a facsimile of reasonable procedural safegaurds that are CONSTlTUTIONALLY sufficient
to protect against unjustified deprivations of RELATOR'S'FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND'RIGHT
To DUE PRocEss. 4 ' _ t ii l v _ '

' PARTICIPANT'S acts of commission and/or omission7 whether by calculated intent and
design7 or combined error, incompetance, apathy and ignorance, has committed an ABUSE
OF DISCRETION TO CONCEAL MATERIAL FACTS RELEVANT to the HABEAS PROCEEDING DECISION.

THE COURT OF`CRIMINAL APPEALS ALL THINGS CONSIDERED SHOULD REVERSE AND REMAND FOR
FURTHER PROCEEDINGS WITH COUNSEL APPOINTED TO ASSIST RELATOR IN ALL MATTERS.

B. THE HIRED ATTORNEY OF RECORD/ STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN/ AS PARTICIPANT.

The RELATOR'S GROUND FOR RELIEF was designated for future resolution per MEMORANDUM
ORDER OF THE 24lst JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, JUDGE JACK SKEEN, JR., presiding, and as
SPECIFIED was to be HELD BY WAY OF AFFIDAVIT ONLY CONCERNING THE ALLEGATTONS OF
' EFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL. However, MEMORANDUM ORDER (See, ATTACHMENT A) was
made part of STATE'S ANSWER IN OPPOSITION TO APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AND

DESIGNATION OF ISSUES1 that had neitherbeenETLE STAMPED1 DATE ISSUANCE FOR SUBMISSION
had not been entered/ NOR HAD THE'JUDGE SIGNED OR DATED THE ORDER (See1 ATTACHMENT A>.
FURTHERMORE, there was NO ISSUANCE FROM THE SMITH COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK,AS ORDERED IN
MEMORANDUM ORDER, AND AS REQUESTED BY RELATOR OCTOBER 151 20141 in his "NOTICE OF CHANGE
OF ADDRESS", "REQUEST FOR PRODUCTIONCD`ELECTRONICALLY STORED PHOTOGRAPHIC / SOUND
RECORDINGS1 CERTAIN ASSOCIATED POLICIES1 AND INFORMATION/" that included LETTERS TO:
D. MATT BINGHAM1 CRIMINAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY SMITH COUNTY; AND1 CLERK'S OF THE COURT:

C/O ABEL ACOSTA, COURT CLERK; specificallydesignatedat, "FOR THE 24lst POST CONVlCTION
WRIT CLERK,"through entirety (See, CSS at pgs. 42 - 461 esp. 43). Therefore, RELATOR'S
"AFFIDAVIT / ADDENDUM TO 11.07 APPLICATION IN RESPONSE TO: AFFIDAVIT OF STEN MARTI
LANGSJOEN1" (See1 CSS at pgs. 66-- 70) as REQUESTED IN DISTRICT CLERK LETTER was tO be
filed in this HABEAS PROCEEDING as an ADDENDUM / REPONSE in said proceeding (See1 CSS
at pg. 701 Id.), and does constitute evidence in the case as it has been introduced at
the hearing as ORDERED BY THE 24lst bISTRICT COURT1 "BY WAY OF AFFIDAVIT ONLY." SEE1
BADGETT v STATE, 79 sw 3d 581(TEX. APP. - HOUSTON [ 14th DIST.] 2001) at 586 f.n. (2).
RELATOR was prejudiced by the SMITH COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK'S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITH A
FILING DATE1 THUS, RELATOR'S "AFFIDAVIT / ADDENDUM TO 11.07 APPLICATION IN RESPONSE TO:
AFFIDAVIT oF-sTEN MARTI LANGSJOEN," filed DECEMBER 02, 2014 (css, at pgs, 60 - 70), -
this included a letter tO DISTRICT CLERK to file in the HABEAS PROCEEDlNG AS AN ADDENDUM
/ RESPONSE IN SAID PROCEEDING (CSS1 at pg. 70). This HABEAS PROCEEDING was nO more than
apmeregulslteto presenting a point of error on appeal only when necessary to adduce
facts not in the record," with "types of evidence allowed at HEARING, the court may
receive evidence by AFFIDAVIT or otherwise (see, TEX. R APP. PRoc [TRAP] RULE(s) 21. 2
& 21.7)1" which was the ONLY MEANS POSSIBLE TO RELATOR as ORDER specifies "..defendant
is NOT to be brought back to SMITH COUNTY JAIL for a hearing," and the RELATOR'S
AFFIDAVIT IS TO BE CONSIDERED IN ALL THINGS RELATING TO THE HEARING AS SELF-
REPRESENTATION. (See, css, at pgs. 66 - 70).

FURTHERMORE1 something is amiss in the DISTRICT CLERK and CRIMINAL DISTRICT
ATTORNEY Of ORIGINAL AFFIDAVIT with an AMENDED NOTICE OF FILING, and the AFFIDAVIT
presented in STATE'S SUPPLEMENTAL ANSWER IN OPPOSITION TO APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS
CORPUS omitting the AMENDED NOTICE OF FILING (See, CSS1 at 47 - 631 compare 82 - 99).

ABUSE OF DISCRETION
THROUGH A CONSPIRACY
TO CONCEAL MATERIAL FACTS

 

RELATOR contends it is well settled law in the STATE OF TEXAS that in a prosecution
of any individual an INFORMATION and/or INDICTMENT is needed to inform the individual
by notice of the charges in which the STATB is willing to prove in order to properly
convict him of the crime cited BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT of a jury of his peers in this
case. (CSS1 INDICTMENT at pg. 27).

ATTORNEY STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN was surely aware of the (2) two charges pending in
RELATOR' S CASE1 specifica11V1 POSS CS PG 1 < 1G1 CAUSE NO. 241*0009-13 (CSS, at pgs 52 &
88); and1 TAMPERING / FABRICATE PHYS EVID W / INTENT TO IM§AIR1 CAUSE NO.`24l~OOlO-13_
(CSS1 at pgs. 56 & 91). HOWEVER1 ATTORNEY OF RECORD in order to be effective upon
investigation of INDICTMENT, by mere observation, one can see:

1) there is NO FILING DATE NOR SIGNATURE OF CLERK (DEPUTY)(CSS1 at DQ- 27)2
2) INDICTMENT CERTIFICATION is inCOleete1 NO DATES1 CLERK SIGNATURES1 WITNESSES, ETC.

(CSS1 at DQ- 28)° FURTHERMORE1
3) there IS NO ENHANCEMENT PARAGRAPH (CSS1 at pgs. 27[1 of 1] & 281 compare JUDGEMENT

at PLEA TO lSt ENHANCEMENT PARAGRAPH, CLEARLY THERE ARE NO ENHANCEMENT PARAGRAPHS1
CSS1 at pgs. 27 - 30).

RELATOR, as would be known by an ATTORNEY of such caliper as STEN MARTI iANGSJOEN,
as referenced in the introduction of HIS AFFIDAVIT to the 241st DISTRICT COURT, was
stopped for an ASSUMED TRAFFIC VIOLATION. HOWEVER, in accordance with the INDICTMENT,
assumedly issued by a GRAND JURY for CAUSE NO. 241-0010-131 was TO KNOW THAT AN
INVESTIGATION AND OFFICIAL PROCEEDING WAS PENDING AND IN PROGRESS1 TO-WIT (IN OTHER WORDS
SPECIFICALLY). POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE1....1 KNOWING THAT AN OFFENSE HAD
~BEEN COMMITTED1 TO-WIT: POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE,....1 WHEN YOU' RE BEING
STOPPED FOR AN ASSUMED TRAFFIC VIOLATION. This point Of the INDICTMENT_WAS NEVER PROVEN»
AND THE VERDICT BY THE JURY IS CONTRARY TO THE LAW AND THE EVIDENCE. (CSS, at pg. 27).
Add this to the KNOWN EDITED TAPES PRESENTED AS BRADY MATERIAL, WHEN IT IS QUITE CLEAR
THAT TWO (2) POLICE OFFICER DASH CAMERAS AND ONE (l) PARAMEDIC CAMERA WOULD SENSIBLY
BE THREE (3) sEPERATE AND INDIVIDUAL AUDlo/ VlDEo TAPES /`DVD' s1 AND Ndl‘ 0N_E ApDIo /
VIDEO DVD1 OR EDITED VERSION, OMITTING / DELETING FAYORABLE DEFENSE PdRTIONS1 THEREBY1
DEMINISHING ANY ADEQUATE DEFENSE FOR COMFIRMING EXCESSIVE FORCE ALTERCATION FOR A 5
TRAFFIC VIOLATION, DENYING SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS OF RELATOR. The U.S. SUPREME COURT has
held the suppression of the co-defendants confession was a violation.of the DUE PROCESS
CLAUSE Of the 14th AMENDMENT. SPECIFICALLY1 the COURT held "SUPPRESSION BY THE PROSECUTION
OF EVIDENCE FAVORABLE TD AN ACCUSED UPON REQUEST VIOLATES DUE PROCESS where the evidence

is material either to guilt or to punishment1 irrespective of the good or bad faith of

the PROSECUTION (SEE1.BRADY1 373 US 1 871 83 S CT ).

 

II
ABUSE OF DISCRETION
THROUGH A CONSPIRACY
TO CONCEAL MATERIAL FACTS

The RECORD before the COURT OF CRIMINAL'APPEALS, in regard tO this ATTORNEY OF
RECORD filing and/or adoption of previous ATTORNEY'S PRE~TRIAL MOTIONS1 IS DEVOID OF,
NOT ONLY THE FILINGS1 BUT ANY RULING BY THE 24lst COURT, as tO MOTION TO SUPRESS1 MOTION
IN LAMlNE, and/or ANY MOTION OR RULINGS as is sufficient to establish efficieneyyandd
effectiveness of ANY ATTORNEY (css, chMlNAL DOCKET sHEET [ch] at pgs. 105 - 110).

The 24lst COURT does however give a JUDICIAL ADMISSION and ,.."finds and concludes
that the defendant WAS NOT CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF COCAINE UNDER THIS CAUSE NUMBERT"
(See, WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSION OF LAW1 CSS at pgs. 102 -
104, esp. pg 103; also ATTACHMENT C at pgs. 1 - 3 esp pg. 2)1 and was found GUILTY OF
TAMPERING / FABRICATE PHYS. EVID. W / INTENT TO IMPAIR On 05/15/20131 CAUSE NO 241-
0010-13 (css, DEFENDANT' s EXHIBIT B, at pg. 91)1 (5) five days later on 05/20/2013 the
(POSSESSION CHARGE) POSS CS PG < lG1 is DISMISSED1 CAUSE NO 241- OOO9- 13 (CSS, DEFENDANT' S
EXHIBIT A, at pg 88).

The RECORD REVEALS there was NO POSSESSION CHARGE ESTABLISHED; NO HEARING1 RULING1
OR FILING, OF A MOTION TO SUPPRESS; and1 ONLY AT HEARlNG "STATE'S NOTICE OF ENHANCEMENT"
and1 "NO PARAGRAPH OF ENHANCEMENT IN INDICTMENT" (CSS, AT ENTIRETY). DUE PROCESS1 as tO
THE ENHANCEMENT PARAGRAPH, Cannot be deemed tO be satisfied by MERE NOTICE AND HEARING,
to give NOTICE ONLY UPON A CONVICTION, which in truth is used as a means to substantially
deprive this RELATOR of AN INCREASED LIBERTY is a deliberate deception to the COURT,
ATTORNEY, AND THIS RELATOR TO DENY DUE PROCESS. Such a COntrivance by the STATE tO
procure additional imprisonment of a RELATOR is as inconsistent with the rudimentary
ndemands of justice as is obtaining of a like result by intimidation. Furthermore, had
ATTORNEY OF RECORD filed A MOTION TO SUPPRESS1 and if the MOTION had been GRANTED1 ANY
ALLEGED POSSESSION would not have been admitted into evidence. Because the ALLEGED
POSSESSION BY THIS RELATOR was the only direct evidence of THIS RELATOR' S POSSESSION,
it is unlikely that the ALLEGED EVIDENCE IS SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT THE CONVICTION WITHOUT
A POSSESSION CONVICTION, DUE IN PART TO THE ILLEGAL ARREST AND SEARCH AND SEIZURE
PROCESS OF THE POLICE OFFICERS. The FACT that these THINGS ARE MISSING from the RECORD
REVEALS COUNSEL‘S DEFICIENCY in this case BY THEIR OMISSION. Ineffectiveness will be
sustained only if the record affirmatively supports such a claim1 With that premise, a
record which includes such omissions as the failure to EILE A MOTION TO SUPPRESS and a
failure to object to the admission of evidence can still affirmatively support a claim
of ineffectiveness. Further1 the ATTORNEY OF RECORD had a process established by the
TEX. R. APP. PROC. [TRAP] RULE 211 specifically:

 

II
ABUSE OF DISCRETION
THROUGH A CONSPIRACY
TO CONCEAL MATERIAL FACTS
RULE 21.2 WHEN MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL REQUIRED
A MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL is a prerequisite to presenting a point of error on appeal

only when necessary to adduce facts not filed in the record.

RULE 21.3 GROUNDS (IN PERTINENT PARTS)
The DEFENDANT must be GRANTED a NEW TRIAL for "ANY" of the following reasons:
(e) when evidence tending to establish the DEFENDANT'S INNOCENCE has been intentionally
destroyed or WITHHELD, thus preventing its production at trial; and1
(h) when THE VERDICT is contrary to the law and the evidence.

This ATTORNEY OF RECORD has been anything but effective, ethical, or honest. Case
and point start with his viewing of the "EDITED TAPE OF ARREST" between my brother1
myself, and this attorney. Upon reviewing he did advise there were clear FEDERAL CIVIL
' RIGHTS charges to pursue, thus his being hired` He has continued to promise numerous
issues that have been but vapor on his lips. In his letter DATED SEPTEMBER 301 20141 he
advises he would send copies of all records in his possession1 to include the "VIDEO
RECORDING OF RELATOR'S ARREST,“ as of the DATE OF THIS SUBMISSION there has been no
further contacts1 legal or otherwise (See1 ATTACHMENT B1 STEN M. LANGSJOEN LETTER, DATED
SEPTEMBER 301 20141 2 pgs.).

For the reasons stated ATTORNEY OF RECORD, not Onlv at trial1 but in his AFFIDAVIT
before this OCURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS has chose to CONSPIRE WITH THE STATE, as a
PARTICIPANT, to conceal the facts stated herein and throughout the record. Thus relief
,shculd'be GRANTED To RELATQR.V. ' ‘ - 1

7 The STATE not ONLY FILES ANSWERS TO THIS RELATOR‘S APPLICATlON FOR WRIT OF HABEAS

The AFFIDAVIT OF STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN:

1) RELATOR was never NOTIFIED, INFORMED1 OR ADVISED OF the date LANGSJOEN AFFIDAVIT was
to be filed1 although REALTOR made ALL PERSONS AWARE OF NON~COMPLIANCE TO NOTIFY
(See1 ATTACHMENT A1 CSS at pg. 411 and CSS at pgs. 42 - 461esp. pg 43);

2) AFFIDAVIT FILED 2014 NOV 14 P.M. 32191 "NOTICE OF FILING PROPERLY SIGNED BY STEN
LANGSJOEN"F(See1 CSS1 at pg. 47)1 however1 CERTIFICATION PAGE TO BE SIGNED BY A
NOTARY PUBLIC BLANK (See1 CSS1 at pg. 51)1 WHY WOULD THE DISTRICT CLERK FILE A
DOCUMENT NOTPROPERUYSUBMITTED1 UNLESS THERE ARE OTHER MOTIVES AT PLAY ? 7

3) AFFIDAVIT is clearly not faxed because therejfsNO DATE /-NO TIME registered on the
documentation1 so a reasonable person would tend to believe it was either hand
delivered or sent certified mail, although1 certified mail would be questionable as
STEN LANGSJOEN has it signed and dated "the 14th day of NOVEMBER1 2014"(See1 CSS1
at pg. 47)1 this leaves only one alternative, that being it was hand delivered. NOW
when you look at the AFFIDAVIT THROUGH ITS ENTIRETY on CSS1 AT pg. 631 it REVEALS

D. SMITH COUNTY, 24lst DISTRICT COURT JUDGE1 JACK SKEEN1 JR.1 AS PARTICIPANT.

The JUDGE is sworn to uphold the CONSTITUTIONS AND LAWS of both1 TEXAS AND THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. To do anything less is a NEGLECT OF DUTY and JUDICIAL
MISCONDUCT1 ESPECIALLY IF DONE SO UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW.

_ The JUDGE has a DUTY AND OBLIGATION to be impartial and fair1 make RIGHT-RULINGS,

SEPERATION OF POWERS IS
A REFUTATION OF CONSPIRACY

 

 

RELATOR asserts there is still a need for checks and balances between the JUDICIAL
POWERS. In this particular case this was not accomplished. When there is a need to act
and afilure to act when there is A DUTY TO DO SO1 IT IS A RECKLESS DISREGARD OF THIS
RELATOR'S FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS coupled with the knowledge of the anticipated unjustifiable
DENIAL IN THIS HABEAS PROCEEDING due to THE CONSTITUTIONAL DEPRIVATIONS already incurred
IN THE PROCESSES OF THE PROSECUTIONS MALICIOUS MISCONDUCT1 DENIAL OF BRADY MATERIAL,
INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL, AND THE LIST GOES ON.

The fact that there Was NO EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTE THE RELATOR IN CAUSE NO. 241-0009-
131 "POSSESSION CHARGE"1 THAT WAS IDSMISSED1 should be Sufficient to establish that the
JURY'S VERDICT WAS CONTRARY'TO THE INDICTMENT, and the ATTORNEY WAS TO FILE MOTION FOR
NEW TRIAL, JUDGE SHOULD HAVE DENIED THE VERDICT FOR FAILURE TO ESTABLISH POSSESSION
AS SPECIFIED IN THE INDICTMENT. The STATE FAILED TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THE
FACTS?OF“LAW ENTERED"IN THE INDICTMENTFTO PROVE RELATOR "TAMPERED WITH PHYSICAL EVIDENCE."
Therefore, "The legal procedures in this case were [not] proper and as provided by the
CONSTITUTION and TEXAS LAW."(See1 ATTACHMENT C1 WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FINDINGS OF FACT
AND CONCLUSION OF LAW at pg. 21 #87 alSo1 CSS at pg. 1031 #8).

RELATOR has presented facts established from the record (as recalled) that show
whether by calculated intent and design1 or by their combined error, incompetance1
apathy and ignorance, THE PARTICIPANT'S, have collectively1 whether, either through acts
of commission and/or omission, have entered into a "CONSPIRA€Y" to subject RELATOR to
CONSTITUTIONAL DEPRIVATIONS AND INJURIES" thereby "INFLICTING GRIEVOUS LOSSES OF

RELATOR'S PROTECTED LIFE, LIBERTY AND PROPERTY INTEREST" by and throughtheir blatant
violations and lack of requisite process before depriving RELATOR of those interest.
PARTICIPANT'S collectivelacts, as combined in their CONSPIRACY and as utilized in
a judicial process, that as designed1 structured, implemented as currently practiced in
their oppressive, abusive1 and grossly prejudicial application to the RELATOR is
totally lacking in even a facsimile of reasonable procedural safegaurdsithat are
CONSTITUTIONALLY sufficient to protect against unjustified deprivations of RELATOR'S
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND RIGHTS TO DUE PROCESS.
PARTICIPANT'S COLLECTIVE ACTS / CONSPIRACY WILL RESULT IN VIOLATIONS THAT RISE TO
THE LEVEL OF A SUBSTANTIAL DEFECT. Thereby subjecting RELATOR to the deprivation of his
"FUNDAMENTAL DUE PROCESS RIGHTS." Resulting in "A COMPLETE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE" that
is inconsistant with fair procedure; to the substantial detriment and injury of the

RELATOR.

RE: State of Texas v. Maurice Cain
Cause No.: 241-0010-13
214st Judicial District Court, Smith County v

Maurice Cain v. State of Texas
Cause No: 12-13-00178-CR
12th Court of Appeals, Tyler District

. Dear Mr. Cain:

In regard _to the above, the Trial Court’s staff sent to my ofiice,` in an envelope dated
09-25-_14, yours dated 09-08-14_ referencing a “Motion for Order Directing Defense Counsel
to Release Defendant’s -Records.” ' '

I do not recall receiving any requests from you for anything from the tile prior to this '
.time. ~ ' ` » . - _ ’ . ' . v ~

g _ . . .'You do have__a right to_ receive a copy'of your tile material inrhy;possession, and I
will forward a redacted copy of same to you as soon as the file is retrieved from storage I l
_ do _not lmow"how to_,handle ~the.delivery of the video recording of.your»;a_rrest, and I will

" ' . . check with-your prison facility starr on how this can be handled

y Upon receipt of your referenced letter,.I checked the website of the 12th Court of
Appeals and I see‘that the judgment against you Was modified and afl;irrned,_ without the ~
filing of a motion for rehearing and without the filing of a petition for discretionary review.
I mention this because I do not have a copy of the Clerk’s Record or o_f` the Reporter’s
Record from your trial; however, copies of these records should be in the '-hands of the
»Appellate Clerk, the District Clerk, and your appellate attorney. .

This is some authority that would have supported your request to the appellate court
- while it continued to have jurisdiction - for you to be provided access to the Reporter’s

 

Record and of the Clerk’s Record; however, the appellate court may now have lost
jurisdiction to hear such a request at this time. lndirect authority for a request to the
appellate court can be found in Kelly v. State of Texas, 436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App.
2014). The K_el_ly opinion dealt with an appellant’s right to seek the appellate court’s help in
receiving copies of the Reporter’s Record and of the Clerk’s Record while the appellant was
within his time limit to seek PDR relief Since you are now out of your time limit to seek
further substantive relief from the appellate court, _I_(e_lly may not support the appellate court
hearing your motion, but it will not hurt `to try.

y You can try two things to obtain the Reporter’s Record and of the Clerk’s Record: 1)

_ send a letter to your appellate attorney and ask him to send you these records; and 2) you
can try completing and filing the enclosed form Motion for Pro Se Access to the Appellate
Record. You must sign and date the document where indicated and send the original to the
appellate clerk for iiling: Twelfth Court of Appeals, 1517 West Front Street, Suite 354,
' Tyler, Texas 75702, Attention: Cathy 'Lus_k, Clerk]. The Certificate of Service should be
completed and copies of the Motion should be sent to your appellate attorney and to the
State’s appellate attorney.

Best of luck to you.
Respectfully,

§ 0F

MAURICE CAIN § sMITH CoUNTY, TEXAS

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
FINDlNGS OF FACT'AND CONCLUSION OF LAW

The defendant in Cause Number241-0010-13 has filed his first Application for
a Writ of Habeas Corpus. The State filed a Response. The Court hereby enters its
findings and conclusions -

The Court takesjudicial notice of all prior proceedings, reporter’s records, the
documents and papers contained in the files, and the docket sheets in Cause Number
241-0010-13 and the first Application for Writ ofHabeas Corpus in Cause Number

_ 241-0010-13-A.

The Coult enters the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law:

1. The defendant, l\/IAURICE CAIN, was indicted in Cause No. 241-0010-13,
filed in the 24lst District Court of Smith County, Texas, with the offense of
Tampering with Physical Evidence.

2. The defendant pled "not guilty," and a jury trial was held. After thejury found

' him guilty, the defendant pleaded "'true" to the State's notice of enhancement,

and the jury assessed punishment at twenty years of imprisonment and a

310,000.00 fine. On .lune30, 2014, the 12th Court of Appeals affirmed the

conviction and sentence Cain v. _State, No_, 12-13-00178-CR, 2014 Tex;App.

LEXIS 7037 (Tex.App. - Tyler June 30, 2014, 110 pet.) ('not designated for
publication).

4. On September 3, 2014_, the defendant filed his first Application for a Writ of
Habeas Corpus. The State filed a response seeking a designation ofissues and
an affidavit from the defendant’s trial attorney_, l\/1r. Sten Langsjoen. Said
affidavit was subsequently provided to the Court.

 

In his writ application, the defendant complains that his trial attorney, Mr. Sten
Langsjoen was ineffective for failing to obtain allegedly "unedited" copies of
the video recordings of the traffic stop and arrest of the defendant

The Court takes judicial notice of all prior proceedings and files. The Court
further finds and concludes that: `

The basis of the claim under this writ application is that Mr. Langsjoen was
ineffective for not obtaining copies of allegedly "unedited" videos that Would
have shown thejury at trial that "excessive force" was used in his arrest and
which would also "support a finding that drugs was planted on the defendant

H

lnitially, the Court finds and concludes that the defendant was not charged with
possessing cocaine under this cause'number. Further,, Mr. Langsjoen in his
affidavit asserts that he received full discovery from the State. lie further avers
that the testimony and video evidence offered by the State at trial "adequately
demonstrated lthe force used against Mr. Cain during his arrest,'and provided
the jury with a description of Mr. Cain's,injuries and his subsequent medical l
v care for those injuries." The defendant has not argued in his writ application
that the arrest video admitted at trial did not show the use of force against him
by police,_or that the jury was unaware of the force used by police in their
attempt to preserve the evidence the defendant was trying to destroy.\ Mr.
Langsjoen additionally states in his affidavit that the force shown on the trial
video constituted mitigating evidence for the defendant ` ‘

. The Court finds and concludes that the defendant has not offered any credible
evidence that l\/lr. Langsj oen was ineffective for the reasons alleged under his

ground for relief, or\ that he suffered any harm therefrom.

The Court finds and concludes that the defendant’s writ allegations consist
solely of the barest allegations with no valid basis in the record or the law.

The legal procedures in this case were proper and as provided by the
Constitution and Texas law.

Page 2

 

9. The Court concludes that this Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus is not
well taken and should in all things be DENlED.

10. The Court after review of the application for habeas relief, any answer, and the
file, finds and determines that there are no controverted previously unresolved
facts material to the legality of the defendant’s confinement

ORDER

The Court orders the Clerk of the Court to immediately transfer to the Court
of Criminal Appeals: '

(1) a copy of the Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus;

(2) any answers and waivers executed by the State;

(3) _ a copy of the files and docket sheets in the original cause of action and
the files and docket sheets in the first Application for Writ of Habeas

_ Corpus; and

Hl

LETTER FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY OFFICE1 NO. 7014 1200 0000 7815 28131 MAILED
OCTOBER 21 20141. This was "CLEARLY AN INTENTIONAL ACT TO PRRJUDICE ANY RESPONSE IN
A TIMELY MANNER BEFORE COURT RULES ON HABEAS PROCEEDING." APPLICANT RECEIVED THIS
NOTICE OF STATE'S RESPONSE THE EVENING OF JANUARY 071 2015.

TAMPERING WITH PHYSICAL EVIDENCE~AS`EXPLAINED IN TPC § 37.09 a person is to be proven
to be in the care, custody1 and control (POSSESSION) of said evidence1 A BURDEN OF
PROOF THE STATE WAS UNABLE, NOR HAS ADDRESSED, TO OBTAIN AS SHOWN IN THE DISMISSAL
OF THE POSSESSION CHARGE AGAINST'APPLICANT AS THE ASSUMED EVIDENCEEHM)TO BE OBTAINED

LAWFULLY1 INSTEAD OF PRETEXTED FROM AN ASSUMED TRAFFIC STOP THROUGH ALLEGATIONS OF ’
LEAVING AN UNSPECIFIED ASSUMED DRUG AREA.

IV. APPLICANT'S BURDEN OF PROOF

APPLICANT’S BURDEN OF PROOF is hard to Overcome when THE DISTRICT CLERK OF SMITH
COUNTY1 THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF SMITH COUNTY1 AND ATTORNEY OF RECORD STEN MARTI
LANGSJOEN1 the participants hereinafter, have entered into an agreement inferred from
the concert actions among the participants and to be considered voluntary from the
collation of circumstances. See 18 USCA 371; Also1 US v THON1 917 F 2d 1701 Id.

APPLICANT'S ATTORNEY, STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN, has coincidently1 through his affidavit
given the exact responses needed by DISTRICT ATTORNEY to play down the use of an
edited from original three (3) tapes their protrayal of the incidental arrest of an
excessive abuse of officers for a traffic stop. One would think from ATTORNEY LANGSJOEN'S
lengthy resume at the beginning of his affidavit had he benn affectively considering
his client, the APPLICANT, he might have chosen some language more in favor to the
APPLICANT. Instead1 he chose to favor a response more in favor of the STATE'S abusive
actions for edited view of the incident depicted through the manipulated three (3)
potion DVD from three (3) seperate VIDEOS1 two (2) police camera and one (l) PARAMEDIC
VIDEO, OMITTING RELEVANT PORTIONS VIABLE TO THE DEFENSE.

DISTRICT CLERK OF SMITH COUNTY, has refused to either1 submit to the 24lst TRIAL _
COURT the documentation stated herein for review and consideration by the court in the
HABEAS PROCEEDING1 nor have they confirmed filing to this APPLICANT, a courtesy extended
to ATTORNEY' S but not for ANY PRO- SE LITIGANT. l

The DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE has intentionally sent their SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE
TO APPLICANT'S last unit in TDCJ, as they were fully aware that APPLICANT HAD BEEN MOVED.

THEREFORE1 when there is a need to act and failure to act when there is a duty to
DO SO1 IT IS A RECKLESS DISREGARD OF THIS APPLICANT'S RIGHTS coupled with the knowledge
of an anticipated unjustifiable denial in this HABEAS PROCEEDING due to the CONSTITUTIONAL
DEPRIVATIONS already incurred in a process of prosecutorial misconduct, denial of
BRADY MATERIAL1 INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL1 AND DISTRICT CLERKS FAILURE TO PROPER
FILINGS TO THE COURT1 WITH NOTICE TO FILINGS THERE IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE SUFFICIENT
TO ESTABLISH A "CONSPIRACY TO CONCEAL FACTS TO DENY APPLICANT A JUSTIFIABLE HABEAS
vRULING BY THE COURT UNDER FEDERAL LAW. ' y

The facts established from the record show whether by calculated intent and design1
or by their combined error, incompetance1 apathy and ignorance1 have collectively,
whether1 either through their acts of commission and/or omission, have entered into a
"CONSPIRACY" to subject APPLICANT to CONSTITUTIONAL DEPRIVATIONS AND INJURIES" thereby
"INFLICTING GRIEVOUS LOSSES OF APPLICANT'S PROTECTED LIFE1 LIBERTY AND PROPERTY
INTEREST" by and through their blatant violations and lack of requisite process before
depriving APPLICANT of those interest.

Their collective acts1 as combined in their CONSPIRACY and as utilized in a judicial

4 /()

process1 that as designed1 structured, implemented as currently practiced in their
oppressive, abusive1 and grossly prejudicial application'to the APPLICANT is totally
lacking in even a facsimile of reasonable procedural safegaurds that are CONSTITUTIONALLY
sufficient to protect against unjustified deprivations of APPLICANT'S fundamental RIGHTS
AND RIGHTS TO DUE PROCESS. v

Their CQLLECTIVE ACTS / CONSPIRACY WILL RESULT IN VIOLATIONS THAT RISE TO THE LEVEL
OF A SUBSTAhTIAL DEFECT. Thereby subjecting APPLICANT to the deprivation of his
fundamental "DUE PROCESS RIGHTS." Resulting in a complete MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE that
is inconsistant with fair procedure; to the substantial detriment and injury of the

APPLICANT.
V. APPLICANTFS PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED1 APPLICANT PRAYS the HONORABLE JUDGE OF COURT will
have the SMITH CIUNTY DISTRICT CLERK produce all documentation submitted by APPLICANT
listed herein; this HONORABLE COURT JUDGE RULE ON APPLICANT'S SUBMITTED DOCUMENTATION;
CONSIDER ALL DOCUMENTATION`SU§MITTED BY APPLICANT IN DETERMINING ANY RULING IN THIS
HABEAS PROCEEDING; RESCIND ANY ORDERS RULE ON PRIOR TO THIS APPLICANT'S SUPPLEMENTAL
ANSWER / REQUEST IN OPPOSITION TO STATE'S SUPPLEMENTAL ANSWER; MAKE ALL DOCUMENTAION
PART OF THE HABEAS RECORD FOR THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS DECISION / RULING; with
any relief the HONORABLE COURT JUDGE deems in deed and equity1 thereby GRANTING
APPLICANT'S WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.
