Alton Craig Jordan, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
June 12, 19961996 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 80
Summary
The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for reconsideration of the admissibility of expert testimony on eyewitness identification under Rule 702, holding that the trial court's exclusion was an abuse of discretion because the testimony was sufficiently tied to the facts to be helpful to the jury.
