Rudolfo Lopez, Appellant v. the State of Texas

May 3, 20002000 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 49

Summary

The Court held that Texas Rule 608(b) bars admission of the victim's prior false accusation and that the Confrontation Clause does not require its admission; therefore the trial court correctly excluded the evidence and the Court of Appeals decision was reversed and remanded.
