Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Anthony Dwayne Bingham, Appellant v. the State of Texas
January 27, 19991999 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 6
Summary
The Court of Criminal Appeals held that hearsay statements against interest are admissible against a co‑defendant and that the trial court's discretion to admit such statements is reviewed for abuse of discretion. It also found the appellate court erred by failing to consider all corroborative circumstances and by not applying the proper standard of review, reversing the lower court and remanding for further proceedings.
