About this Petition Petition Letter

Darryl Durr was convicted of the 1988 murder of Angel Vincent and sentenced to death.  Trial counsel was ineffective for failing to:

            -Interview members of his family and obtaining a social history

            -Object to portions of the State’s closing argument

            -Object to allegedly improper jury instructions

            -Obtain experts for mitigation

The trial counsel man stated because the court would not cover the costs for a pathologist, criminalist, psychologist, or mitigation specialist, they didn’t attempt to get any sort of expert where a psychologist would have provided the jury with mitigation evidence.
