Neal Hampton Robbins, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the lower court's admission of prior injury evidence, holding that it was admissible under Rule 404(b) to show intent and rebut accidental‑death theories and that the Rule 403 balancing did not constitute an abuse of discretion. Separate concurring opinions agreed with the result but differed on whether the evidence was admissible to show intent.
