Donald Lee Fuentes, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court reversed the conviction, holding that the prosecutor's repeated derogatory comments about defense counsel, made in the presence of the jury, were improper, prejudicial, and constituted reversible error, and that the trial court erred in denying a mistrial. The Court also held that the defense counsel's conduct did not invite such comments and that the objection preserved error for review.
