Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Elisha Genaro Davis, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

January 18, 19941994 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 16

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded the case, holding that the trial court improperly excluded the appellant's mother's testimony both under Rule 613 and Rule 803(24). The court found the exclusion violated the Webb test and that the statement was sufficiently corroborated to be admissible.
