Marvin Lee Wilson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court held that the prosecutor's closing‑argument remarks attacking the defense counsel's oath were not invited, were manifestly improper, and prejudicial, and therefore could not be deemed harmless. Accordingly, the trial court's judgment was reversed and the case remanded for a new trial. Justice Mansfield dissented, arguing that the error was harmless and the judgment should be affirmed.
