Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Ivery Williams, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

July 11, 19841984 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 702

Summary

The Court affirmed Williams' conviction and upheld the 99‑year sentence, holding that the identification procedures were not impermissively suggestive, the jury’s parole discussion did not deprive the defendant of a fair trial, and the cumulation language “stacked on” is sufficient to constitute a valid consecutive sentence. The opinion also rejected claims of ineffective assistance, improper jury charge, and insufficient evidence of ownership.
