Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Guy Ford, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

June 7, 19721972 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1936

Summary

The Court considered the trial court’s admission of evidence of a separate supermarket robbery to prove the appellant’s identity and flight in a murder‑with‑malice case. Finding no distinguishing characteristic linking the two offenses, the Court held the evidence inadmissible, reversed the conviction, and remanded for a new trial.
