Opinion

BUCKLEY, J.

Appellant Felipe Evangelista Sixto was sentenced to die for the capital murder of five-year-old Jorge Garza. His convictions were overturned due to the ineffectiveness of his trial attorneys. Upon retrial, with representation by new counsel, he was again convicted but sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. In the published portion of this opinion, we will consider the trial court’s obligation, upon retrial, to undertake curative measures designed to remedy the effect of the deficient performance of original counsel.
