Mark Edwin Hardesty, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that a written statement obtained from the appellant in exchange for a promise to file only one charge in Irving was inadmissible, reversing the conviction based on that statement, while affirming the conviction based on a separate statement concerning a Grand Prairie burglary and the related probation revocation. The court affirmed the trial court's findings that the warnings given complied with Article 38.22 and that the Grand Prairie statement was voluntarily made.
