Dorothy Jean Miller-El, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
January 17, 19901990 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1
Summary
The Court held that victim‑impact prognosis testimony is admissible at the punishment stage of a non‑capital felony as a circumstance of the offense, even though it was not admissible at the guilt stage, and rejected the State’s argument that admissibility at the guilt stage automatically permits admission at sentencing.
