The Houston Chronicle reports that Texas inmate Norman Crittendon has filed an amicus curiae brief in Rick Perry’s criminal case urging the trial court to dismiss the charges against the Texas Governor.

“Crittendon, who is serving a 65-year sentence on theft and weapons charges, on Tuesday filed a friend-of-the-court brief and asked for a hearing. He stated that he would need to be escorted to and from such a hearing, since he’s incarcerated in the Polunsky Unit in Livingston. In his filing, Crittendon said the indictment against Perry is vague and the statute on which it’s based is unconstitutional.”
