Macedo v. Texas (original by presiding judge keller)
Annotate this CaseAt the punishment stage of AppellantJuan Macedo’s trial, a police report regarding an extraneous offense was admitted into evidence over a hearsay objection. Although the judgment convicting Appellant of that extraneous offense was also admitted into evidence, the police report was the only item of evidence that included details of the offense. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals found that in light of the evidence of the offense and the severity of the other punishment evidence, any error in admitting the police report was harmless. Consequently, the Court reversed the judgment of the court of appeals.
