My ex-boyfriend (who I had evicted), and his buddy wanted to collect a couch one evening, but as he had stolen numerous items previously, and refused to work, I forbade him from coming to the house.

I called my brother for advice and he instructed me to lock all forms of entry and not to answer the door. I did exactly that, went downstairs locked all entrances, took my medications and went to sleep on the couch. Next, I was awakened by the sound of my door being kicked in, while 2 dark figures enter my home. For my brother let them into the garage bay. As I awakened, one of the figures walked up to me. I grabbed a knife that was left on the coffee table. One of the figures jerked me off the couch as I stab him, one time, in self-defense inside my living room! The Texas Penal Code §§9.31, 9.32 allows the use of self-defense for fear of perceived threat of imminent danger. The injury I inflicted in self-defense severed his carotid artery, and he died within minutes.

I was treated like a criminal instead of a victim of a home invasion. Brazoria Co. DA, Teri Yenne applied sensationalism to the facts; enacting her own made up scenario. This embellished version alleged I pre-meditated and intended to kill Zaul ble I contacted my brother. Apparently, the motive was I was upset as Zaul left me. Yet, I evicted Zaul because he was a thief and refused to work. Also, Ms. Yenne insinuated the door was 'pushed open', and glorified his character, while making me appear like a deranged, lunatic.

The betrayal of justice I withstood was Police and Prosecutorial Misconduct, Trial Courts Abuse of Discretion, Violation of Due Process Rights, Witness Perjury, Ineffective Assistance of Counsel, Ineffective Assistance of Counsel on Appeal and Insufficient Evidence to Sustain a 1^st Degree Murder Conviction. All appeals and post-conviction remedies were denied

Proof of Innocence:

Any and all assistance, donations, and meeting of new friends will be greatly appreciated.

1.	I had no control over what my brother did by letting them in; he knew I did not want them there but he was coerced and let them in the garage bay area thus allowing them access to climb the stairs and kick-in my door.
2.	No fingerprints were lifted from the exterior of the door indicating the door was not just pushed open but, was kicked in.
3.	Brother & father heard I felt door being kicked in, and came into garage to investigate. Both were inside garage, as intruders came downstairs - as stated in addidavits.
4.	I have the right to protect myself per V.A.T.C. Penal Code § § 9.31,9.32. In addition to "castle doctrine" passed into legislation in 2007.
5.	My ex boyfriends criminal record was not introduced at trial, while mine, although minor was broadcasted.
6.	Joshua Harley lied at my trial stating "he and Zaul had just pushed the door open". Yet, there was no latent palm or fingerprints lifted off the door.
