The Confession (2010)
“Boyette swore in writing that he was telling the truth, and Sammie Thomas e-mailed the petition to the Defender Group’s office in Austin. The staff there was waiting. It was printed, copied twelve times, and handed off to Cicely Avis, who sprinted from the office, hopped in her car, and raced across town to the offices of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. The petition was filed at 3:35.
“What’s this?” the clerk asked, holding a disc.
“It’s a video of a confession by the real murderer,” Cicel...y replied.
“Interesting. I assume you want the judges to see this fairly soon.”
“Right now, please.”
“I’ll get it done.”
They chatted for a second, and Cicely left the office. The clerk immediately delivered the petition to the offices of the nine judges. In the chief justice’s office, he spoke to the law clerk and said, “You might want to watch the video first. Some guy just confessed to the murder.”
“And where is this guy?” asked the clerk.
“He’s in Donté Drumm’s lawyer’s office in Slone, according to the Defender Group lawyer.”MoreLess
