In 1980, Delma Banks, a 21-year-old black man from Texarkana, Texas, was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death as a result of the Bowie County District Attorney’s false representation of testimony, suppression of material evidence, and by his trial defense counsel 's ineffective assistance of counsel during the prosecution of his case. He was on death row for 32, becoming one of Texas’ longest-standing death row inmates. On April 14, 1980, the body of Richard Whitehead, a 16-year-old white male, was found in a Bowie County, Texas, state park. After investigation, the Bowie County law enforcement officials determined that Delma Banks had been with Whitehead on April 11th.

Banks had no prior convictions or criminal record. Banks went to trial on September 29, 1980. The prosecution relied heavily on Charles Cook’s statements and had no eyewitnesses or confessions, and Cook was a twice-convicted felon who was awaiting trial himself for an arson charge at that time. Patricia Hicks and Patricia Bungardt, two other prosecution witnesses who were acquaintances of Whitehead, testified that they had seen Whitehead with Banks on the evening of April 11th drinking alcohol at the park where Whitehead’s body was later found.

Clarence Harrison and David Ranta cases are similar due to the fact that it shows the main goal for our criminal justice system is to seek justice. Harrison was wrongly convicted of a crime due to a flawed eyewitness testimony and DNA blood test. His armed robbery conviction at the age of nineteen also played a major part in his case, because it allowed his face to be put into a lineup of suspects. The victim who was sexually assaulted picked out Harrison as the man who attacked and raped her at the Marta Bus station. Sophisticated DNA blood testing was not even available during the time of Harrison’s conviction. The blood test administrated could only rule that Clarence was one of the eighty-eight percent of the population who could have committed the sexual assault. Unfortunately, Harrison had no clear alibi, and eyewitness testimony the jurors found him guilty of rape where he served seventeen years before he was later exonerated.
