Calin Mugur Oprean, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that the trial judge abused his discretion by admitting a videotape that the State had willfully failed to disclose under a pre‑trial discovery order, and reversed the Court of Appeals' judgment, remanding for determination of any prejudice caused by the admission. Justice Cochran filed a concurring opinion disagreeing with the majority's finding of willfulness but agreeing on the error in admission.
