Donald Wayne Good v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court reversed the burglary conviction because the prosecutor improperly commented on the defendant's courtroom demeanor during the guilt phase, drawing an unreasonable inference of guilt from non‑testimonial conduct and from testimonial demeanor not supported by the evidence. The decision overrules the broader reading of Langley and affirms that such comments are reversible error; three concurring opinions note the need for clearer guidance.
