Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Charlie Melvin Page, Appellant v. the State of Texas

December 20, 20062006 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 2446

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting extraneous‑offense evidence because identity was properly raised and the offenses shared a distinctive signature, satisfying the relevance and prejudice standards of Rules 403 and 404(b). The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
