Texas Seven prison escapee’s conviction, death sentence should be tossed out, judge says

Mays’ recommendation issued Monday adopted the defense team’s findings. She wrote that the Court of Criminal Appeals should find that Halprin “was denied rights to the free exercise of religion, due process of the law, and equal protection of the laws” and should “vacate the judgments of conviction and death” against him.

“Due process and equality before the law found their champion in Judge Mays today, as did the people of Dallas County and the State of Texas,” Schardl said. “We are confident the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals will follow the law, accept the State’s concessions and adopt the trial court’s recommendations.”
