Based in Fact

In Episode 13, State of Texas v. Linda Anita Carty. In Part 3, Lisa and Kyle concluded their look at the case against Linda Carty, who remains on Texas Death Row after multiple unsuccessful efforts to win a new trial in state and federal court. They talked about the alternate suspects Carty has blamed for the 2001 kidnapping and murder of new mother Joana Rodriguez, whose body was found in the trunk of a car rented for Carty by her daughter and whose newborn son, Ray, was found, thankfully unharmed, in the back seat of Carty’s daughter’s car. Both cars were at the same time and in the same place. We’ll also talk about Carty’s multiple self-serving letters professing her innocence and complaining about her persecution by prison officials. Then they talked about her second successive state post-conviction writ, request to file a successive federal habeas claim and her request for appointment of new counsel, allegedly to assist with presentation of a petition for clemency.
