Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Re- posting trying for another shot...
How can a person get a 1st degree felon charge (Ten year sentence), when no one was killed? It was a drive by shooting and the boy was 17 years old at the time. He was only a passenger in the car and he did not shoot the gun. He had no prior convictions and now this young man is searing a 10 year sentence for organized criminal activity with a firearm. His court appointed attorney talked him into pleading guilty, after spending 7 months in county jail on 100,000 bond, that his attorney didnt get lowered. The same attorney defended the boy that shot the gun and he got 40 years. What I don't understand is that no one died and the shooter got 40 years??

This ad may look familer it was posted about 4 years ago and I was passed on this information and I am asking if there is anything I can do. Thanks.

Re: Re- posting trying for another shot...

The only way this case can be reopened now is if there is some form of actual innocence that would prove this young man did not commit a crime.

It would have to be evidence that was not available at the time or evidence that his court appointed attorney simply would not consider.

If my office can be of any further assistance feel free to contact us.
