Thomas Lynn Simmons, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Thomas Lynn Simmons' conviction for aggravated robbery, holding that the prosecution's use of a similar-type knife as demonstrative evidence was admissible, that the Best Evidence Rule does not apply to weapons, that the attempted impeachment concerning a federal warrant was improper, that the evidence was sufficient to support the verdict, and that the jury charge was adequate. Each ground of error raised by the appellant was overruled.
