Hammer v. State

OPINION

Opinion by:

REBECCA SIMMONS, Justice.

This appeal is on remand from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Hammer was convicted by a jury of two counts of indecency with a child. After thoroughly considering the issue on remand, we conclude the trial court committed harmful error in excluding some, of the evidence Hammer offered to demonstrate the complainant’s motive to falsely accuse him of molestation. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s judgment and remand the case for a new trial.
