ESPARZA v. STATE

No. PD-1616-07.

282 S.W.3d 913 (2009)

Edward ESPARZA, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

May 13, 2009.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edward Esparza, pro se.

Alan Curry, Asst. D.A., for State.

OPINION

KEASLER, J., delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court.

The court of appeals upheld the trial judge's refusal to grant Edward Esparza's motion for DNA testing. The court held that testing showing the presence of DNA not belonging to Esparza would not prove his innocence because (1) the victim reported having sex two days before the attack, and (2) there was overwhelming eye-witness testimony establishing Esparza's guilt.
