By Mrs. Eileen Hunter — about the author. Posted August 11, 2026.
Provenance: Motion to Supplement, filed April 20, 2026 in the Fourth Judicial District Court, Parish of Ouachita (No. 2002-F-2021), supplementing the March 26, 2026 Uniform Application for Post-Conviction Relief with the Comanche records obtained by counsel. Transcribed in full from the filed motion’s text; wording as filed. The three attached exhibits (rap sheet, sentencing transcripts, court minutes) contain confidential criminal-history records and are not reproduced, per this site’s privacy policy; their substance is documented on the Comanche file.
MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT
NOW INTO COURT, by and through undersigned counsel, comes Tony Hunter, who respectfully moves this court to permit supplementation of the record in his previously filed Uniform Application for Post-Conviction Relief (UAPCR) with (a) the criminal history (rapsheet) of Vaccaro Comanche, (b) the sentencing transcripts in matters pertaining to Vaccaro Comanche, and (c) the court minutes in those matters. These materials are relevant to issues presented in Mr. Hunter’s UAPCR, including credibility, motive, bias, potential impeachment, and context for statements and conduct attributed to Mr. Comanche that bear on the proceedings involving Mr. Hunter. Good cause exists to allow supplementation so that the Court has a complete and accurate record for adjudication of the pending issues.
BACKGROUND — Mr. Hunter’s case involves facts and testimony in which Vaccaro Comanche is a material witness. The existing record does not contain his rapsheet, sentencing transcripts, or minutes related to the matters in question for Mr. Comanche. Counsel has identified and obtained these documents and requests leave to supplement Mr. Hunter’s UAPCR with them.
LEGAL STANDARD — Courts possess inherent and statutory authority to supplement the record to ensure a just determination and to consider materials that are relevant, reliable, and necessary for the proper resolution of issues before the court. Good cause exists where supplementation will aid the court, prevent prejudice, and promote a complete and accurate record for review.
DESCRIPTION OF DOCUMENTS TO BE ADDED
I. Rapsheet for Vaccaro Comanche [Exhibit 4] — This is the criminal history of Vaccaro Comanche, including entries reflecting arrests, charges, dispositions, and sentencing information, as maintained by the appropriate law enforcement repository. This document shows that although Com[a]nche was being called a two-time felony offender at sentencing and during Tony Hunter’s trial, he was actually a four-time felony offender. This information speaks to the benefits Mr. Comanche received in return for his testimony against Tony Hunter.
II. Sentencing transcripts for Vaccaro Comanche [Exhibit 5] — These transcripts of the two sentencing hearings in Comanche’s cases that occurred after he gave his statement against Tony Hunter, but prior to his testimony in Tony Hunter’s trial, reflect that Mr. Comanche was “bought and paid for.” The transcripts show that a habitual offender bill was filed against Mr. Comanche in April 2002 but documentation already submitted to this court shows that habitual offender bill was eventually dismissed after Mr. Comanche testified against Tony Hunter.
III. Court minutes for Vaccaro Comanche [Exhibit 6] — These court minutes from Mr. Comanche’s case show that Mr. Comanche received benefits for his testimony against Tony Hunter and are further evidence of Mr. Hunter’s claims in his UAPCR that Mr. Comanche had motive for his testimony.
WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons and any that may appear to the Court, Mr. Hunter respectfully requests that these documents be allowed to be supplemented in the record for his UAPCR.
