Carbett Lee Jones, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the lower appellate court's judgment, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a motion for new trial based on newly discovered evidence, because the new testimony was merely impeaching, of questionable credibility, and not likely to change the result. Justice ONION, concurring, noted the trial court correctly overruled the motion without elaboration.
