  • “The Court is considering your conduct, what you did as far as your obstructions in the period of your release.”
  • if evidence that appears to be admissible at the time later turns out to be inadmissible, complaining party must move to strike evidence at the time its inadmissibility becomes apparent
  • in evaluating closely similar remarks, court determined “[t]he prosecutor went too far in arguing her own credentials for truthfulness to the jury.”
  • where term is not defined by statute, it should be given its ordinary meaning
  • Article 38.23(a) did not require exclusion of the evidence
