Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of murder and sentenced to ninety-nine years imprisonment. The Second Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Norwood v. State, No. 02-08-214-CR (Tex. App. Fort Worth, April 23, 2009).

The trial court recommends that relief be granted. Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997).
