Castro v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding collateral crime evidence that defendant was an escaped convict was presumptively harmful
• deeming a trial court’s error in allowing a witness to testify about the defendant’s previous collateral act harmless, because it did not influence the most incriminating evidence against the defendant, which was “his own confession”
• \[I]t is not enough to show that the evidence against a defendant was overwhelming. Error is harmless only if it can be said beyond a reasonable doubt that the verdict could not have been affected by the error.\ (internal quotation marks omitted)
