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.
