John Gasper Ramos, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the murder conviction, holding that the appellant's post‑collision statements were admissible as verbal act (res gestae), that his prior simple‑assault conviction could be introduced as part of his prior criminal record, that the deceased’s wife’s testimony was not reversible error, and that the prosecutor’s comments did not require a mistrial and any error was harmless.
