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

Summary

The Court held that an accomplice's out-of-court statements are not "testimony" under Article 38.14, V.A.C.C.P., and therefore do not require the statutory corroboration requirement; consequently the trial court need not give a jury instruction on corroboration and the Court of Appeals' judgment was reversed and remanded. Justice Baird dissented, arguing that out-of-court statements should be treated as testimony requiring corroboration.
