Jeremy Thomas v. State

OPINION

Evelyn V. Keyes, Justice

A jury convicted appellant, Jeremy Thomas, of the first-degree felony offense of murder, and the trial court assessed punishment at confinement for life. 1 Appellant filed both a notice of appeal and a motion for new trial, and the trial court granted a new trial. We abated appellant’s appeal of his conviction while the State appealed the trial court’s order granting a new trial. A panel of this Court reversed the order granting a new trial and reinstated appellant’s conviction and sentence. See State v. Thomas, 426 S.W.3d 233 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2012)…
