Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Pedro Salazar, Appellant v. the State of Texas

November 27, 20022002 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 230

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further review, holding that the seventeen‑minute victim‑character video montage was inadmissible because its probative value was substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice under Tex.R. Evid. 403, and that the proper standard of review for the error is Tex.R.App. P. 44.2(b). Justice Keller, concurring, agreed with the judgment and emphasized the undue prejudice of the video.
