Gregory Bryan Stahl, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the Court of Appeals' reversal of Gregory Bryan Stahl's murder conviction, holding that the prosecutor's conduct—including a predictable witness outburst and repeated improper jury arguments—constituted reversible prosecutorial misconduct and that the cumulative prejudice was not harmless. The court also held that the trial judge's curative instruction did not cure the error.
