How courts have described this case

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

stating that “the rationale for giving a contemporaneous instruction [when admitting evidence of extraneous offenses] does not apply to burden of proof issues”
holding defendant not entitled to instruction on the lesser-included offense of aggravated assault when evidence showed appellant, at least, guilty of homicide
holding appellant who did not testify waived complaint about trial court = s refusal to limit State = s ability to cross examine him on prior offenses
explaining that burden of proof instructions may be given for the first time in jury charge as jurors do not encounter burden of proof questions until all evidence has been taken
rejecting an argument that a capital sentencing jury must be instructed to disregard any evidence of unadjudicated extraneous offenses unless it first concludes beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant committed the offense
“aggravating circumstances can be considered in connection with the mitigation special issue”–upholding refusal to submit instruction limiting the jury’s consideration of extraneous unadjudicated offenses or bad acts to the future dangerousness punishment issue
