Simmons v. State
In the defendant's trial for aggravated robbery, non-accomplice testimony under Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 38.14 sufficiently connected him to the crime. The masked robber's first and middle names were the same as the defendant's names. The defendant wrote a threatening letter to the accomplice witness while both were in jail. The defendant attempted to get the accomplice witness to sign an affidavit exonerating him and then tried to persuade two jail employees to falsely swear that they saw the accomplice witness sign the affidavit.
