HOUSTON – James Harris knew he would have to wait a few months, possibly six, but now 11 months have gone by since Texas’ top criminal court first agreed to hear Harris’ plea for freedom.
“I really didn’t want to think that, but deep inside I had a feeling I was gonna get put on hold, just get tossed around,” Harris said.
Harris is awaiting his case to be heard before Texas’ Criminal Court of Appeals, which agreed on last May to do so.
Harris wants to be exonerated after being sentenced to 25 years in prison for a crime he’s long maintained he did not commit. Yet, his case remains pending 11 months later, leaving Harris, a father and grandfather, home on parole just waiting.
