OPINION

CAMPBELL, Judge.

Appellant was convicted of capital murder. V.T.C.A. Penal Code § 19.03(a)(6). Upon the jury’s affirmative answers to the two issues submitted at punishment, the trial judge sentenced appellant to death. See Art. 37.-071(b)(1), (b)(2), and (e), V.A.C.C.P.1 Appellant raises twelve points of error in this direct appeal. We will reverse appellant’s conviction on the basis of our disposition of his fourth point of error, and address the one point of error challenging the sufficiency of the evidence on the second punishment issue.
