Sierra v. State

OPINION

GEORGE C. HANKS, JR., Justice.

The jury found appellant, Pedro Angel Sierra, guilty of aggravated robbery. After appellant stipulated to having been convicted of 10 prior offenses, including seven felonies, the jury assessed a sentence of life in prison and a $10,000 fine.
