OPINION
Opinion by
Chief Justice MORRISS.
At Detwonne Monshay Alexander’s jury trial in Lamar County leading to his conviction 1 for delivery of a controlled substance — cocaine between four and 200 grams — in a drug free zone, Alexander wanted to prominently display a Bible on counsel table in view of the jury, but was directed by the trial court to keep it in a less prominent position. In this appeal, Alexander asserts that he was improperly denied his constitutional right to exercise his religion and that he was convicted on insufficient evidence corroborating accomplice-witness testimony.
