Shields v. State

Carley, Presiding Judge.

After a jury trial, appellant was found guilty of burglary. He appeals from the judgment of conviction and sentence entered by the trial court on the jury’s guilty verdict.

1. After a pre-trial hearing, the trial court ruled that four of appellant’s prior burglary convictions would be admissible as similar transactions.
