State v. Hall

Goolsby, Judge:

A jury convicted Timothy Wayne Hall of murder. During the trial, Hall sought to impeach the state’s main witness, Gary Rabón, with Rabon’s prior convictions. The convictions included petit larceny, first offense driving under the influence, and resisting arrest. The trial court held Hall could only impeach Rabón with the petit larceny conviction because it was the only crime involving moral turpitude. Hall appeals, claiming first offense driving under the influence and resisting arrest are also crimes of moral turpitude. We disagree and affirm.
