Wall v. State - 13th COA

The erroneous admission of a victim's hearsay statement to the police through an officer's testimony was not harmful to the defendant during the punishment phase. Even though the statements indicated the defendant's racial intolerance and bigotry, and may have violated Crawford, they were not harmful because of the overwhelming amount of other evidence of the defendant's guilt and insensitivity to his victims. Wall v. State, 13-02-636-CR [1].
