Peter Hunt Coe, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the trial court's judgment, rejecting all six of appellant Hunt's grounds of error. It held that the officer had probable cause for the arrest, that the plain‑view seizure and subsequent search of the bag were lawful, that the identification evidence was admissible, that the trial court's instruction cured any error regarding the officer's statement, that the pen‑packet evidence was properly admitted, and that there was no prosecutorial misconduct requiring a new trial.
