Fighting for Justice: An Update from Bobby Buckner

Hello, everyone.

I’m writing this update to keep you informed about the progress—and roadblocks—I’ve faced in my fight for justice. As you know, I’ve been working tirelessly to challenge my wrongful conviction and seek the truth that can set me free. Unfortunately, the journey has been anything but smooth, and I need your continued support as I navigate these challenges.

The Roadblocks

Recently, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied my application for a writ of habeas corpus without issuing a written order. This denial came with no findings of fact or conclusions of law to explain their reasoning. As a result, I’ve been left in the dark about why my application was rejected and how to address their concerns.

This lack of transparency is not just frustrating—it’s a violation of due process. Without the court providing a clear basis for their decision, I’ve been denied my right to notice and the opportunity to respond, as guaranteed under the U.S. and Texas Constitutions. Case law, such as Goldberg v. Kelly (1970) and Mathews v. Eldridge (1976), underscores the importance of fair procedures and decisions supported by evidence and reasoning.

The Importance of Dr. Madisetty’s Testimony

One of the most critical pieces of evidence in my case is the testimony of Dr. Sudhir Madisetty. Dr. Madisetty was the attending physician for the alleged victim and requested to perform a sexual assault confirmation test—an essential step in determining the truth. However, his request was refused by the State’s witness, and to this day, he has been unable to testify or provide an affidavit.

Dr. Madisetty’s statement could dismantle the State’s case against me. Yet, despite my repeated attempts to involve the courts, they have refused to compel his testimony. I believe the courts are stalling, perhaps waiting for Dr. Madisetty, who is an older man, to pass away so that his testimony is forever lost.

Why This Matters

The refusal to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law, coupled with the inability to secure Dr. Madisetty’s testimony, leaves me unable to fully challenge my conviction. If the courts truly stand by their decision to deny my application, they should be willing to provide their reasoning. Their silence only reinforces the idea that they are intent on denying me access to the justice I deserve.

What’s Next?

I have filed a motion requesting the Court of Criminal Appeals to reconsider their denial or, at the very least, to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law explaining their decision. Additionally, I am reaching out to advocates, attorneys, and organizations who may be able to help secure Dr. Madisetty’s testimony before it’s too late.
