This Lady's Emotions Are Going To Be A Wreck

This lady got 35 years for dope in Wise County. I wrote a (boring) post back in September when the Fort Worth Court of Appeals reversed her conviction and granted her a new trial. I wrote then that the case might go further up the appellate chain and it has.

Today the Court of Criminal Appeals (that's the highest criminal court in Texas since the Texas Supreme Court doesn't hear criminal cases) agreed to hear our local DA's claim that the Fort Worth court got it wrong. I'm guessing she's getting closer to getting that 35 year sentence back.
