Ex parte Jesus de Leon (Original)
Annotate this CaseApplicant Jesus De Leon filed two applications for the writ of habeas corpus brought pursuant to Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Pursuant to plea agreements, Applicant pled guilty to one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child, one count of sexual performance by a child, and twenty-two counts of possession of child pornography. The trial court granted Applicant permission to appeal, even though the State argued that Applicant waived all rights to appeal pursuant to a waiver in the plea agreements. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded that Applicant's guilty pleas were rendered involuntary because the State reindicted Applicant's brother. Accordingly, the Court granted relief.
