Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

James Ray Woolridge, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

February 26, 19921992 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 36

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the conviction, holding that the trial judge abused his discretion by prohibiting defense counsel from questioning prospective jurors about the State's burden of proof of "reasonable doubt," and that such error requires reversal without a separate harm analysis.
