Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Manuel Duran Frausto, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

December 15, 19821982 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1178

Summary

The Court reversed Manuel Duran Frausto's burglary conviction because the prosecutor improperly disclosed detailed prior conviction information to the jury during voir dire, violating Art. 36.01(1) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court held that the error was not cured by the trial court's jury instructions and therefore was not harmless.
