Curtis Wayne Pope, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas
November 15, 20062006 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 2235
Summary
The Court held that the identity, qualifications, and review of a designated defense expert are not protected by the attorney work‑product doctrine, that admission of such evidence does not violate the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, and that any error was non‑constitutional and harmless, affirming the judgment of the Court of Appeals. The concurring opinion agreed with the judgment but criticized the majority’s reasoning.
