IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. PD 1214 11 JASON THAD PAYNE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS ON APPELLANT S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW FROM THE TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS WOOD COUNTY M EYERS, J., filed a dissenting opinion. DISSENTING OPINION The majority reverses after concluding that the court of appeals erred in determining that the admission of several erroneously admitted victim statements was harmless. I disagree with this conclusion. After examining the court of appeals opinion, I agree that the admission of the statements was harmless error, and feel that the analysis conducted by the court of appeals is more accurate than the analysis conducted by the Payne Dissent Page 2 majority. There is no way a rational trier of fact would have reached a different result had the error not occurred.1 With these comments, I respectfully dissent. Meyers, J. Filed: February 27, 2013 Do Not Publish 1 Tillman v. State, 376 S.W.3d 188 (Tex. App. Houston [14th Dist.] 2012]
