Escort v. State
Texas Court of Appeals, 13th District
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
NYE, Chief Justice.
This is an appeal from a conviction of the offense of murder. Appellant’s guilt and punishment were determined by a jury. Punishment, enhanced by two prior felony convictions, was assessed at life imprisonment. On appeal, the sufficiency of the evidence is not challenged; however, appellant brings three grounds of error com plaining of 1) the admission of evidence of an extraneous offense, 2) the prosecutor’s indirect comment on her failure to testify, and 3) a violation of the Speedy Trial Act. We reverse the conviction and remand the case to the trial court.
