Donald J. Robinson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court examined four alleged errors raised on appeal: the admission of extraneous offense evidence, the admission of reputation testimony at sentencing, the admission of a taped conversation, and the State's jury argument during the punishment phase. It held that the extraneous offense and the reputation testimony were properly admitted, the taped conversation was admissible, but the State's sentencing argument was improper. Because the improper argument was not harmless, the conviction was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings.
