April 19, 19721972 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 2169

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the robbery conviction, holding that the eyewitness identification was admissible as an independent observation, that the trial court properly refused to compel the co-defendant witness and correctly excluded his affidavit, that the prosecutor's argument did not constitute reversible error, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to reopen the case.
