Jones v. State
Court of Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
PHILLIPS, Chief Justice.
Sandra Jones appeals the trial court’s judgment, based upon the jury’s verdict, finding appellant guilty of murder,1 and sentencing her to twenty-five years in the Texas Department of Corrections.
Appellant challenges the trial court’s judgment in that (1) the evidence is insufficient, and (2) the trial court erred in allowing the State to introduce evidence of a polygraph examination given to appellant. We do not reach the other grounds of error raised by appellant since we find reversible error accompanied by sufficient evidence. We thus reverse and remand.
