Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Laquan Cameron Miles, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
February 28, 19961996 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 24
Summary
The Court reversed Laquan Cameron Miles' capital murder conviction and remanded for a new trial, holding that the trial court erred in admitting hearsay statements under Tex.R.Crim.Evid. 803(24) and that the evidence was sufficient to support both the guilt and future dangerousness findings. The decision also overruled the appellant's arguments on sufficiency of the evidence at the guilt and punishment stages.
