Regina Stewart Case Study

The first case that I’m going to talk about is the Erma Faye Stewart case and Regina Kelly case. These two women were charged with felony drug distribution charges. This case took place in Hearne, Texas back in 2000. Stewart and Kelly along with 25 other men were charged in this case. Everybody bail was set to 70,000 each. The police knew about the drugs because a confidential informant. Erna Stewart had two kids and Regina Kelly had four kids.

When Angelos filed the writ of habeas corpus it was granted and things were looking better for Jarret. The court allowed her to be released or retried. Jarret then had to plea again but she didn’t want to do it. Jarret didn’t want to do something that she knows she didn’t do. Jarret rather to sit in jail than to lie and said she done something. In 2005 she had a parole board hearing. They wanted her to express the wrong that she did but she still followed her heat and said she will not. She just kept begging honest and will not plead guilty for thirty years and she was released from prison on June 13,
