HOT ANGOLA 3 NEWS FLASH!!!!!


The First Circuit Court of appeals has ordered the district court to hold 
an evidentiary hearing on one aspect of Herman's prosecutorial misconduct 
claim.  The district court had denied relief without granting Herman the 
right to prove his allegations of misconduct in his multi-faceted claim. 
The Court of Appeals ordered the court to hear evidence regarding the 
promises and inducements to Hezekiah Brown for his testimony at trial. 
Hezekiah was an old convict who testified that he saw Herman and Albert 
kill the guard.  A few years ago, the state finally released documents 
showing that Hezekiah was promised rewards for his testimony and did in 
fact receive those rewards.  He was promised a continuous supply of 
cigarettes and a pardon.  This is the type of evidence that can severely 
impeach a witness and it illegally withheld from Herman at his trial.  The 
hearing date has not been set at this time.

For more information on this case visit, www.angola3.org or contact 
marina at napanet.net.

As soon as we know the hearing date we'll be organizing to make sure the 
court room is full.
