He served 16 years based on flawed cell tower evidence used in his conviction. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that had more advanced cell tower location data been available at his trial, he likely would not have been found guilty, highlighting the significant advancements in cell phone technology since his original trial and the importance of expert testimony in such cases, with his defense team including Attorney Mick Mickelsen and our cell phone expert Joseph Kennedy.

IN COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS “Applicant has met his burden in proving by a preponderance of the evidence that, had the scientific evidence supporting ground two been presented at trial, Applicant would not have been convicted.” Applicant also contends, under Article 11.073, that scientific evidence concerning cell-phone tower location data contradicts the cell-phone tower location evidence presented at his trial.
