She appointed an attorney to research findings of the court and the document specifically states that the attorney is not to represent the defendant. This is after he's been incarcerated (illegally according to several other attorneys who have seen the case).

But the day PRIOR to signing this document, she appointed the SAME attorney to be his court appointed attorney!

Defendant thinks it is to stall and keep the appeal from moving forward.

I know this is a conflict of interest for the appointed attorney, how could he/she independently represent defendant in a fair manner?

But not sure if it is illegal though.

Looking at this judges other rulings makes me think she has higher aspirations, but I don't want anyone like that representing Democrats.

I've already called and emailed FBI several times on other issues in this case, no response whatsoever.

Either corruption runs so deep in Texas that they don't have time to answer or who knows?
