Petition updateJustice for Chad Vincent Fry: Why This Case Demands Review📣 UPDATE: Newly Uncovered Court Records Reveal Serious Problems in Chad’s Case

Leeann BarnettGeorgetown, TX, United States

Dec 8, 2025
Over the past several days, we obtained the official docket sheets and affidavits from Chad’s trial court and appeal. What we found is extremely troubling and confirms that Chad did not receive a fair trial or a fair appeal.
These newly discovered records expose major failures in the investigation, the legal process, and Chad’s representation.
The public deserves to know the truth:
🔍 1. Chad’s appeal was never reviewed, not even once.
His appellate lawyer never filed the required brief, even after being ordered by the Superior Court to fix multiple mistakes. Because of this, Chad’s entire appeal was dismissed, not on the merits, but because his lawyer abandoned him.
➡️ No judge ever reviewed his evidence, trial, or conviction.
🔍 2. The Superior Court found serious problems with the attorney’s work.
The appellate dockets show:
• Defective Anders/no-merit filings
• Court orders ignored
• Instructions not followed
• A remand for a Grazier hearing because the court was concerned about his rights
• Appointment of new counsel, who also did nothing
➡️ Two different appellate lawyers failed Chad completely.
🔍 3. The affidavit reveals improper and leading child interviews.
This is one of the most serious issues we’ve found.
The investigator asked children highly suggestive questions, such as:
• “Did he touch your private?”
• “Did you feel his wiener?”
• “Was it inside or outside?”
• “Did he want you to put it in your mouth?”
These are not proper forensic interview techniques.
They can influence a child’s memory, especially when the child is young and scared.
To be clear:
👉 This does not blame the children.
👉 This shows the adults conducting the interview did not follow safe, accepted procedures.
Leading interviews can produce inaccurate statements, and proper recordings were never turned over to the defense.
🔍 4. No physical, forensic, or medical evidence exists.
There was:
• No SANE exam
• No DNA
• No trauma findings
• No corroborating witnesses
• No forensic interview video provided
• No evidence beyond contaminated statements
➡️ This case relied solely on interviews that were not conducted properly.
🔍 5. PCRA (Post-Conviction Relief) attorneys also failed him.
Chad had multiple PCRA lawyers:
• Some withdrew
• None investigated
• None challenged the interviews
• None obtained missing evidence
• None filed meaningful arguments
➡️ His case has never once been fully reviewed.
🚨 What this means: Chad has NEVER had a fair chance.
Not at trial.
Not in his appeal.
Not in post-conviction review.
Every system that was supposed to protect his rights failed him from the investigation to the courtroom to the appeal process. These newly obtained records prove it.
✊ We are continuing to fight for a fair review, accountability, and justice.
Our goal is not to blame children or cause harm.
Our goal is to make sure the truth is revealed and that proper procedures which protect EVERYONE are followed.
Chad deserves what every person is guaranteed under the Constitution:
✨ A fair trial
✨ A fair appeal
✨ Proper legal representation
✨ An investigation conducted with integrity
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Chad.
Your voices matter, and your support gives us strength to keep fighting for justice.
