Convict rights suit could free 600 Texas inmates
A Dallas district court hearing starts to decide a landmark civil rights suit filed by jailhouse lawyer Frank Leahy. If successful, the case could discharge or force new appeals for about 600 inmates transferred to state prison before appeals were decided, amid claims the 1973 law is unconstitutional. The hearing before Judge Jerome Chamberlain may last two days and will influence appeals to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and beyond.
