On May 4, 2001 Tony Hunter was arrested as a passenger in his rented F-150. The same day, a detective asked Enterprise for permission to seize it.

Specs for the Ouachita jail window the confession was said to pass through were subpoenaed in 2022. Denied: “discoverable at the time of trial.”

In 2012 Glen Dale Nelson swore the confession was a “jailhouse conning scheme.” Here is what the affidavit says and what the court did in 2013.

His supervisor testified Tony Hunter worked the week of March 5-10, 2001 and a full 39-hour week after the murders. The work record, cite by cite.

Louisiana allowed 10-2 verdicts until 2019. Ramos, Edwards and a failed 2025 bill in five dates. Tony Hunter’s 2004 jury split is not disclosed in the record.

Thirty-eight pages is a lot. The fifteen-minute path through the Tony Hunter case: overview, forensic record, informants, timeline, then the documents.

Five post-conviction applications, 2007 to 2026. Five denials on the papers. No judge has ever heard a witness testify about this evidence.

The day after the defense opening, the State moved to keep the marijuana operation at 221 Greenwood Drive from the jury. The motion in limine, from the record.

Before any witness, the prosecutor told the jury the truck, the prints, the house and the gun linked nothing to Tony Hunter. The State’s own opening, quoted.

On July 20, 2001 investigators took two recorded statements from Vaccara Comanche: one on Greenwood Drive, one on an unrelated case. The career pattern.
