Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Jeffery Edward Taylor, Appellant v. the State of Texas
September 12, 20072007 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1123
Summary
The Court held that the prosecutor's explanation of parole eligibility, even when using the terms "defendant" and "he," was not improper because it merely restated the statutory jury instruction, and any potentially improper portion was harmless; therefore the judgment of the Court of Appeals was reversed and the trial court's judgment affirmed.
