DL Graves, all the briefs can be found on the COA’s website.
Put got the their attention, but not how he expected apparently. He had best drop all the adjectives describing the trial court this go round, place his hat in his hand and get out the checkbook.
The brief certainly convince the court of something other than the merits.
Oh my. Bench slapped. Don’t suppose they posted the brief for our entertainment did they?

Ouch.
