Ex parte Charles Christopher Lancaster

Summary

This document is Charles Christopher Lancaster's objections to the trial court's findings of fact and conclusions of law in Texas habeas proceedings involving Williamson County cause numbers 95-039-K277 and 95-040-K277. The filing disputes findings concerning sentence expiration, confinement, delay and laches, subsequent convictions, and actual innocence, and requests further findings, an evidentiary hearing, remand, or habeas relief.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the trial court erroneously found that Lancaster's challenged sentences had expired and that he was not confined or subject to continuing collateral consequences from the convictions.
2. Whether the trial court properly applied laches to bar the habeas application based on the delay in filing.
3. Whether the trial court failed to address Lancaster's ineffective-assistance and actual-innocence claims based on newly discovered evidence.
