Stewart v. State
The defendant was not incorrectly sentenced when the jury was instructed
that he would not become eligible for parole until the actual time he
served plus any good conduct time earned was equal to one-fourth of the
sentence it imposed, an incorrect statement regarding parole law. The jury did not have any questions regarding either the meaning or
the application of the parole law. Nothing suggests that the
misinformation regarding parole affected the jury's decision in
sentencing or that it did not follow the trial court's instruction to
not consider how good conduct time might apply to the defendant.
