Jeremy Thomas, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the First Court of Appeals' judgment, holding that the trial court's failure to read additional cross‑examination testimony of witness Trancquena Johnson was harmless and did not affect Jeremy Thomas's substantial rights. The Court also affirmed that the error is nonconstitutional and reviewed under Rule 44.2(b). Justice Yeary filed a concurring opinion noting that the preservation issue was gratuitous and need not affect the result.
