SubjectPost-conviction review request — Christopher Woody case (SC, 2005)
Dear [Name],
I am writing regarding the South Carolina case of Christopher Woody.
Christopher Woody was tried and convicted in South Carolina in 2005. A trial juror has since executed a sworn affidavit alleging that an unauthorized person entered the jury room during deliberations and communicated a statement favoring conviction. A second juror has corroborated the unauthorized entry. The family maintains that this outside-influence allegation has not received a complete, conflict-free merits hearing.
Public evidence, timeline, and briefing materials are at https://woodycasereview.com. Contact: support@woodycasereview.com.
Given your office's work in appellate defense and post-conviction relief, the family respectfully asks whether your office is able to review the sworn juror affidavits and procedural history and consider representation — or, if not, refer the case to a qualified attorney.
This message describes sworn allegations and public records. It does not assert that any specific person committed a criminal offense.
One specific request: consider representation or a referral to appropriate counsel.
Thank you for your consideration.
