Everitt v. State

Tex. Crim. App.

February 11, 2013

The court of appeals held that appellant did not properly preserve his assertion of error concerning the admission of evidence of alleged drug use. The court of appeals erred by distinguishing between admitting scientific evidence and admitting expert testimony under Texas Rule of Evidence 702.

Court of Criminal Appeals, No. PD-1693-11, 02-06-2013.
