In the decades since he was convicted of murdering his wife, Mickey Bryan, in 1985, Joe Bryan has maintained his innocence.
His lawyer, Jessica Freud, said the court’s decision came down without an explanation. “This is absolutely disappointing and makes our options limited,’’ she said Thursday. “We’re going to keep trying.” “Everyone now recognizes that was unsupportable work, including the expert himself,” she said Thursday.
It was among a series of details that led authorities to focus more on Joe Bryan; they arrested him eight days after his wife was found dead. And as lawyers squared off in the State of Texas v. Joe D. Bryan, the stains on the flashlight and in the bedroom appeared to help prosecutors substantially. In July 2018, the Texas Forensic Science Commission — a nationally influential organization that investigates complaints about forensic evidence — said that the blood spatter analysis used to convict Bryan was not supported by science.
“Some would argue it’s a big flaw in our system,” she said. In general, judges “don’t want to go back,” she said.
