My name is Ms. Dorothy Marie-Michelle Pelletier. I am a Veteran and the mother of a minor child named Bryce.
My child has been unjustly incarcerated in a Texas prison. Bryce has a developmental disorder, his disability status
is Other Health Impaired. I believe he has been exploited before, during, and after his arrest for his reason.
As per the San Antonio police report On December 31 2009, the victim Fred, was shot once in the chest while he laid asleep on his couch. Nick, Fred’s oldest son, told the police that his best friend Bryce did this. When the police arrived, EMT was there, Fred was still alive and was asked who was responsible for this, he answered Nick. I have the police report
proves this as fact.
At the time of his arrest my son was 15 years old, 6’2 and had failed the 8th grade. He was living with his father David
and stepmother Patricia for 3 years. Bryce had been in my care inFlorida since 1996. Our joint custody/shared rights remained.
My child was alone when questioned, arrested and waived his Miranda Rights. He was interrogated without an attorney, and I believe he was manipulated and coerced into giving a false confession. This shooting was never properly investigated once the confession was obtained.
After January 4th 2010, Bryce’s father hired an attorney. HisFather was given immediate plausible deniability. My signature
was obtained under false pretense. I was excluded from decisions, when I was included I was lied to.
Within 6 months after my child's arrest he was deemed a competent adult. I was present during these hearings, and
watched key persons prompt my child. Whenever he was told the details of what occurred and of his participation in it,
he believed it, he still does.
His confession wasn’t good enough to convict him because his lawyer coerced him into confessing to all state charges. This was done so that Bryce could accept a plea agreement of 30 years. My son feared a jury would give him life.
The charges were that he intentionally and knowingly caused the death of the victim by shooting him and that he did this with an accomplice named Nicholas. Bryce was told there was no evidence to suggest anyone else could have done this. On July 16 2010 my son was convicted.To date, and in a convincing manner Bryce continues to repeat what he was
told, as if it had originated with him.
The Police report also states that someone in the victim's home refused to take the gun residue test, and a blood splattered t-shirt was found upstairs in the master bathroom. In the attic officers found unsecured weapons. The victim's wife had blood on her hands, arms and night-shirt. She told police that after hearing gunshots, she came downstairs to see what happened. She said the back door was open, so she shut and locked it and went back upstairs in fear of her life.
Several of the many officers at this home, went to Bryce's father’s house. The Technician with them gather black clothing
items from different parts of the house, including a mask and gloves which had nothing to do with the crime on December 31st 2009. There was no blood in this house.
Later at the station a witness tells a detectives that the victim's wife was involved. This case is based entirely on a
confession elicited by police from a developmentally disabledchild, Nick's word, and a shotgun said to have been found in
Bryce's father's backyard.
The defense hired a forensic psychologist. Her recommendation was adjudicating my child as a Juvenile. Her findings
confirmed his cognitive developmental impairments, and his well documented history of being successfully treated while in my care and by his same doctor since he was 4 years old. She found My sons new doctor at fault for all of his actions related to Bryce's ew Bryce's new related to Bryce's case. Her report was never presented.
I believe this was omitted because the doctor who had removed all but one of my child's necessary medications, IS the Juvenile Detention Centers head psychiatrist, which the attorney didn’t want to make this doctor look bad.
This same doctor now had my child on Trazadone and Prozac. Bryce remained on these drugs throughout the court hearings.And was still taking these medications when he was transferred to a local adult annex jail.
The court reporter's continue to deny me a copy of the transcripts, the counties DFPS wrote false statements about
my ability to care for my child. On September 9 2012, Bryce will turn 18 years old, he is scheduled to be transferred to a
notorious adult prison. My child doesn’t belong in prison with adults, my my son belongs back in my care. He has a strong defense that was never used.
Please help Bryce and me. 4brycesbattle
