Bonnie Jalaane Ray, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court held that the trial court’s exclusion of Williams’s testimony was not harmless and reversed the Court of Appeals, remanding for further proceedings; it also found no constitutional error because the defendant could still present her own defense. Justice Keller dissented, arguing the error was harmless, while Justice Hervey concurred, criticizing the majority’s harmless‑error analysis.
