Oscar Carrillo, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Oscar Carrillo's felony theft conviction, holding that the corroboration of the accomplice witness was sufficient, that Chapa and Taylor were not accomplices as a matter of law, that the evidence supported a principal conviction, and that the trial court did not err in its evidentiary rulings, jury instructions, or handling of impeachment and extraneous‑offense testimony. Justice Phillips, concurring, argued that the majority applied the wrong standard for admissibility of extraneous offenses but agreed with the result.
