Ramirez v. State

CARDINE, Justice.

A jury convicted appellant of attempted second degree murder after he stabbed his girlfriend nine times with an ice pick. On appeal, he raises the following issues: (1) whether the trial court erred in refusing appellant’s proposed instruction on abandonment; (2) whether the court erred in excluding the testimony of appellant’s expert witness; (3) whether the court erred in failing to grant a mistrial after admission of prior bad acts evidence; and (4) whether the court erred in allowing a cumulative transcript into evidence over appellant’s objection.

We affirm.
