'These things don't come to light very often,' said the attorney defending the man whose freedom was at stake when the prosecutor allegedly committed the act. Now, other cases are being reviewed.
Cases involving former Galveston County prosecutor Clay Hearrell are being reviewed after the district attorney's office said he withheld evidence.The Galveston County District Attorney's Office terminated a prosecutor whom it said "failed to disclose exculpatory information in a criminal trial."
The defense attorneys said they later realized something was off when Gordon, the surviving victim, was not being called by the prosecutor to testify during the trial."It's at this point that he tells her, not verbatim, but basically, 'Well, your guy was not the one who was the shooter,'" Overhouse said.
In it, he writes, "Gordon made the statements, 'No body shot me,' 'it's all water under the bridge,' and 'he ain't shot nobody.'" The district attorney's office later told defense attorneys that Hearrell had a lot going on at the time, according to Overhouse.
