Description

Appellants brief contains forty grounds of error in which he contends that: (1) the trial court erred in refusing to admit evidence of extraneous criminal offenses committed by the States chief witness, David Harris, and in restricting appellants cross-examination of another State witness, Teresa Turko; (2) the prosecutor improperly withheld a statement made to the police by witness Emily Miller; (3) the trial court erroneously refused to permit appellant to ask venire members certain questions during voir dire, and excused some venire members for cause in violation of the rule of Witherspoon v. Illinois, 391 U.S. 510, 88 S. Ct. 1770, 20 L. Ed. 2d 776 (1968); (4) Art. 37.071, V.A.C.C.P., is unconstitutional; and (5) the evidence is insufficient to support the jurys affirmative answer to the second punishment issue.
