Anthony Dwayne Bingham, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that out-of-court statements of an accomplice admitted under a hearsay exception constitute "testimony" within the meaning of Article 38.14, requiring a corroboration instruction; therefore it affirmed the Court of Appeals' reversal of the arson conviction. Justice Clinton dissented, arguing the statements are not testimony, while Justice Baird concurred, agreeing with the majority's interpretation.
