Jimmy L. Brown, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court reversed Jimmy L. Brown's aggravated rape conviction and remanded for a new trial, finding reversible error in the admission of improper reputation evidence, affirming the sufficiency of the serious bodily injury evidence, holding the warrantless bedroom search unlawful, but concluding the subsequent search warrant was valid because it could stand on untainted information. The Court also rejected challenges to the indictment's description of injury and to the timing of the warrant execution.
