Taylor v. State

BOEHM, Justice.

A jury convicted Kenyan L. Taylor of murder. He was sentenced to sixty years imprisonment. Taylor raises four issues on appeal that we restate as follows:

I. Did the trial court err by refusing to admit evidence of witnesses’ gang activity?

II. Did the trial court err by allowing testimony of a witness whose name was not included on the State’s pretrial discovery witness list?

III. Did the trial court err by failing to give a missing witness instruction to the jury?

IV. Was the evidence sufficient to support his murder conviction?

We affirm.
