Rick Edmund Fras v. Texas; No. 01-87-0520-CR; Court of Appeals of the State of Texas at Houston; 05/27-28/1987 - Transcript of Jury Trial Volume III, 1987-05-27 - 1987-05-28
Scope and Contents
This collection of copies of trial transcripts for criminal state trials, from Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and various other states, was donated to the Law Library by Professor Brandon L. Garrett in August of 2017. About half of the defendants in these cases were DNA exonerees, the most notable case being that of Earl Washington, Jr., an African American man from Virginia who was wrongfully convicted of rape and murder, and spent 17 years in prison and on death row before he was exonerated. The files in which the defendants were exonerated by DNA evidence have copies of forensic reports and police files.
