Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Robert Nicholas Angleton, Appellant v. the State of Texas

May 27, 19981998 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 70

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting an audio tape as evidence, overruling Kephart and finding the tape properly authenticated under Rule 901; consequently, it reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further consideration of proof evident. Justice Meyers dissented, arguing the case should be remanded to reassess the tape's authenticity.
