Re: Oral argument in Cause No. AP-77,031
Franklin Davis v. The State of Texas
Dear Mr. Acosta:
Pursuant to Rule 71.3 Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, I am advising this
Honorable Court that I, on behalf of Appellant in the above referenced cause, am
requesting oral argument on issue No. 4 which argues that the dismissal of Juror Bigley
from the jury was error and No. 11, the evidence was insufficient to support the
conviction for capital murder.
I believe oral argument would help present these issues in full context and help
present a comparative analysis of the issues raised. Therefore, I respectfully request
oral argument on these issues.
Sincerely,
/s/ John Tatum
John Tatum
