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

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that an accomplice's out-of-court statements are not "testimony" within Article 38.14, V.A.C.C.P., and therefore no corroboration instruction is required for a jury. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further resolution of remaining errors. Justice Baird, dissenting, argued that the majority’s narrow construction is unsupported and that corroboration should still be required.
