Texas Man Can't Clear His Name

A Frisco, TX man has been unable to clear his name for over four years.
An appeals court has decided he has no right to seek equitable justice after a local judge found for the defendant.
Though he has never been found guilty of any crime, he is shackled with a record he is unable to clear.
The District Attorney had dismissed the charges after the State admitted it could not obtain a guilty plea, telling the court that, it has been determined that the State is unable to make a prima facia case.
The District Attorney's Office also argued that the complainant has never recanted her testimony, therefore the case should not be expunged.
The local judge disagreed but has been overruled by the Texas apellate court.
His record remains.
And a job, forget about it.
