Description
On October 18, 1969, Israel Hinojos was shot in the chest just after he had driven up to his parents home. His parents, who were the first to reach their son, did not see who fired the shot, but did hear a car drive away. The victims cousin, who arrived at the Hinojos residence twenty minutes later, stated that shortly before the shooting he had encountered applicant and several other Hispanic males in a parked car. They threatened "to get" Israel because of an earlier fight. While they were talking Israel drove by in his car; a car in which applicant was riding followed. As a result of this information, applicant and another Hispanic male were arrested later in the evening and charged with murder with malice. Applicant and two other Hispanic males were ultimately indicted for the offense. Applicants family retained Bill Alexander to represent applicant at trial. However, because applicant had only paid part of Alexanders fee the day before trial, Alexander assigned the newest associate in his firm, Michael McLeaish, to represent applicant in his murder trial. On January 22, 1971, applicant was convicted of the offense of murder with malice; punishment was assessed by the jury at ninety nine years. On direct appeal the Court affirmed the judgment of conviction without dissent. Ybarra v. State, 486 S.W.2d 937 (Tex.Cr.App. 1972).
