The JAMES HENRY FOWLER Case

•  The homicide detective handling the investigation failed to show up for hearing. 
•  The prosecutor who was to handle Fowler's case, Dwight Jackson, was in another courtroom at the time with another case. 
•  County District Court judge, Frank Kratovil, said that out of fairness to Fowler, he could not postpone the hearing. "We don't just lock people up and hold them in jail until we can prove they did something wrong,"
