The story of Vonlee Nicole Titlow and
her uncle , Don Rogers is the subject of Oxygen's Snapped show,
season 13, episode 8. Oxygen describes the show as: Vonlee Nicole
Titlow is a transsexual woman who participated in the death of her
uncle in August 2000 to pay for a sex change operation..
Vonlee Nicole Titlow was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to twenty to forty years.
Vonlee Nicole Titlow, a transgender prisoner presently incarcerated
at the Richard A. Handlon Correctional Facility in Ionia, Michigan,
appeals from the district court's denial of her petition for a writ of
habeas corpus following her conviction in state court for the
second-degree murder of her uncle. Titlow raises several
ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims, as well as a
prosecutorial-misconduct claim and a challenge to the trial court's
response to a question from the jury.
Although the district court
correctly determined that most of Titlow's claims lack merit or are
procedurally defaulted, the court erred in concluding that Titlow failed
to establish an ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim arising out of
her plea-bargaining experience. The Michigan Court of Appeals'
conclusion that her second attorney was not deficient when he advised
Titlow to withdraw the plea agreement negotiated by her first attorney
was unreasonable because the record reflects that the second attorney
totally failed to investigate her case prior to recommending that she
withdraw the guilty plea. In contrast to the 7–to–15–year sentence that
Titlow would have received under the plea agreement, she was convicted
by a jury and sentenced to 20–to–40 years in prison. For the reasons set
forth below, we REVERSE the judgment of the district court and
conditionally GRANT the petition for a writ of habeas corpus, giving the
State 90 days to reoffer Titlow the original plea agreement or, failing
that, to release her.
