Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Ex Parte Brandy Del Briggs, Applicant
December 16, 20052005 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 2174
Summary
The Court granted habeas relief, vacating Brandy Del Briggs' conviction for injury to a child and remanding her to answer an indictment because her trial counsel's failure to investigate her infant son's medical records constituted ineffective assistance of counsel; the Court denied her claim of actual innocence. Justice Keller dissented, arguing the trial court's findings supported denying relief.
