FRANCES HAS BEEN ON DEATH ROW FOR 18 YEARS FOR A CRIME SHE DID NOT COMMIT

§ Frances’ husband and two small children were murdered execution-style, likely by a drug dealer, in 1987.

§ Frances’ conviction rested largely on the results of ballistics testing conducted by the now-discredited Houston Police Department crime lab, which said that it was her gun that was used to murder her family.

§ Frances’ court-appointed trial attorney, Ron Mock, did nothing to prepare for trial. He interviewed no one & investigated nothing. He is the same attorney that sent an innocent Shaka Sankofa, a.k.a. Gary Graham, to his execution. The State Bar of Texas has sanctioned Mock many, many times.

§ There was no blood found on Frances Newton's clothing, gun, hands, or car, despite the fact that the victims had been shot at close range. No gunpowder residue was found on her hands or sweater. There was also no evidence that someone had undertaken a cleanup at the apartment.
