Richard E. Dinkins, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the convicting court’s denial of appellant Dinkins’s Chapter 64 DNA testing motion, holding that he failed to satisfy the statutory requirements of Articles 64.01 and 64.03. The Court explained that Dinkins did not provide factual support for the existence of untested biological material nor a preponderance showing a reasonable probability that exculpatory results would have prevented his prosecution.
