Cedrick Ryan Harrison, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying both the motion for continuance and the motion for new trial. The Court also clarified the proper standard for preserving error on a denied motion for continuance, rejecting a prior requirement that a motion for new trial be filed to preserve the issue.
