33 TCDLA Death Penalty Committee Report by Katherine Scardino & Kathryn Kase January 25, The Year in Review Texas tried only eight death penalty cases in 2015, which is down significantly from prior years. Prosecutors obtained only three new death sentences and one death re-sentence for a penalty retrial in 2015; four cases ended in life-without-parole sentences. Technically, one of the cases ending in death that of Mark Anthony Gonzalez (Bexar County) was not complete because the defense team raised a competency claim that the trial judge delayed deciding until January 2016, but allowed the punishment phase to go forward. Texas also had four life-without-parole sentences at trial. This is down from 11 new death sentences in 2014 and is the lowest number of death sentences since 1999, when Texas sent a historic high (post-furman) of 48 people to death row. Significantly, Harris County, the state s most prolific user of the death penalty, sent no new prisoners to death row. The one death penalty trial in Harris County involving a new defendant, Johnathan Sanchez, ended with jurors returning a life-without-parole sentence. A punishment retrial for Billy Mason in Harris County ended in a re-sentence to death, which accords with the 99 percent re-death-sentence rate for capital retrial cases that go to juries. Texas executed 13 prisoners in 2015, up from 11 in 2014, and for a total of 531 executions post- Furman. Also, the Court of Criminal Appeals and the federal courts issued 14 stays or modifications of the execution date Trials The year began with a finding in Bexar County that Mark Anthony Gonzalez had been fit to proceed to the punishment phase of his death penalty trial in Fall Accordingly, Gonzalez was formally sentenced to death by Bexar County District Court Judge Mary Roman. Jury selection also began for the death penalty trial of Charles Brownlow in Kauffman County. Seven more death penalty trials are scheduled for the first quarter of Executions There are 251 men and women on Texas death row. The first execution of 2016 was carried out on January 20 with the lethal injection of Richard Masterson, bringing Texas to a total of 532 executions post-furman.

34 Amid news reports that Texas has an ample supply of pentobarbital, the drug the state uses to lethally inject the condemned, 10 more executions have been scheduled through June: Execution Date Name Race/Ethnicity County of Conviction 1/27/2016 James Freeman W Wharton 2/16/2016 Gustavo Garcia H Collin 3/09/2016 Coy Wesbrook W Harris 3/22/2016 Adam Ward W Hunt 3/30/2016 John Battaglia W Dallas 4/06/2016 Pablo Vasquez H Hildago 4/27/2016 Robert Pruett W Bee 6/02/2016 Charles Flores H Dallas 6/21/2016 Robert Roberson W Anderson 7/14/2016 Perry Williams B Harris

35 CORRECTIONS & PAROLE COMMITTEE REPORT JANUARY 2016 Co-Chairs: Nicholas Hughes, Nancy Bunin & David O Neil Committee Members: Gary Cohen, Curtis Barton, Scott Ehlers

36 CORRECTIONS AND PAROLE COMMITTEE REPORT TCDLA s Corrections Committee is assisting the State Bar of Texas Legal Services to the Poor in Criminal Matters Committee in conducting an investigation into the operations of State Counsel for Offenders. The goal of the investigation is to determine if State Counsel complies with the ABA s Ten Principles of a Public Defense Delivery System and if reforms to the system of defending indigent prisoners accused of crimes are warranted. A report and recommendations are scheduled to come out in March. The Corrections Committee has assisted in developing a survey instrument for current and former State Counsel staff and others who are familiar with State Counsel s operations and is gathering information about State Counsel s operations. If you have helpful information about State Counsel s operations or would like to assist in the project, please contact Scott Ehlers at scott@scottehlerslaw.com.
