Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Robert Bustillos, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

February 17, 19711971 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1798

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the conviction, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing impeachment by the appellant's prior felony conviction, that the prior conviction was not too remote, that the correction of the charge after it was read to the jury was permissible, and that the appointment of a county attorney employee as interpreter was within the trial judge's discretion.
