Billy Dee Riley, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas

September 19, 20122012 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1217

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded, holding that although trial counsel’s advice regarding probation was deficient, the appellant failed to show a reasonable probability that the outcome would have been different, so the trial court’s denial of a new trial was proper.
