Carrillo v. State

OPINION

ENOCH, Chief Justice.

Manuel Carrillo was convicted of unlawful delivery of cocaine. A jury found him guilty of the offense, and the court assessed his punishment at twenty-five years’ confinement and a $1000 fine. Carrillo challenges his conviction in three points of error. He alleges that the trial court erred in denying his motions for mistrial based on the prosecutor’s improper jury argument and a police officer’s inadmissible testimony concerning extraneous offenses. For the reasons outlined below, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand for a new trial.
