Acevedo v. State
Texas Court of Appeals, 4th District (San Antonio)
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
Opinion by
REBECCA SIMMONS, Justice.
Appellant Dario Acevedo was convicted by a jury for the murder of Jeffrey Dono-frio. The trial court assessed punishment at life imprisonment. On appeal, Acevedo presents several issues, including erroneously admitted evidence. Because we conclude that the trial court abused its discre tion in admitting the testimony of the State’s expert Dr. Michael Arambula, and cannot say such testimony did not affect a substantial right, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand this matter for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
