United States v. Scottgreen1 sentence2025As the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has held, when a defendant’s “mistrial motions were 7 The United States Supreme Court explained the reasoning behind this rule, observing that “[a] defendant’s motion for a mistrial constitutes ‘a deliberate election on his part to forgo his valued right to have his guilt or innocence determined before the first trier of fact.’” Oregon v.

2 sentences2017Long , 137 S.W.3d 923 , 926 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2004, no pet.)"The reasoning behind the rule is clear: in the partition process, decisions must be made upon which other decisions will be based. 2017An appeal at each stage provides a practical way to review controlling, intermediate decisions before the consequences of any error do irreparable injury."

Stout v. Oliveira

Graham v. West Virginia
green
2 sentences2000The reasoning behind this rule was also given by the court: The reason that a conviction which occurred before the statute was enacted may be used for enhancement is that the statute providing for a greater penalty upon a subsequent conviction does not seek to punish the offender for the original criminal act a second time, but rather, “The repetition of criminal conduct aggravates ... guilt and justifies heavier penalties.... ” Vasquez, 477 S.W.2d at 632 (citing Graham, v. West Virginia, 224 U.S. 616, 623 , 32 S.Ct. 583 , 56 L.Ed. 917 (1912)). 2000The reasoning behind this rule was also given by the court: The reason that a conviction which occurred before the statute was enacted may be used for enhancement is that the statute providing for a greater penalty upon a subsequent conviction does not seek to punish the offender for the original criminal act a second time, but rather, “The repetition of criminal conduct aggravates ... guilt and justifies heavier penalties.... ” Vasquez, 477 S.W.2d at 632 (citing Graham, v.

Comer v. State
green
1 sentence2000Nonetheless, we note that the reasoning behind the rule is to “avoid the ‘taint of criminality’ inherent in interrogation conducted at the unsupervised discretion of law enforcement officers.” Comer, 776 S.W.2d at 196 (quoting Act of May 25, 1973, 63d Leg., R.S., ch. 544, § 1, 1973 Tex.

Ex Parte McAtee
green
1 sentence1999Appellant bolsters this argument with reliance on our holding in Ex parte McAtee, supra. In McAtee , this Court reaffirmed the Walker court’s holding that a total failure of the trial court to admonish the defendant concerning the range of punishment is reversible error without regard to harm. 2 We reasoned harm was not a consideration because when a trial judge fails to give the article 26.13(a)(1) admonishment there is no substantial compliance. 3 We stated: The reasoning behind this rule is that where the record indicates that the defendant has received an admonishment with respect to punis | 1 | 1999–1999 |

2 sentences1990As this court stated in American General Insurance Co. v. Coleman, 157 Tex. 377 , 303 S.W.2d 370 (1957), the reasoning behind this rule is that injury incurred in such travel does not arise out of that person’s employment, but rather is suffered due to the dangers and risks to which all traveling persons are exposed. 1990As this court stated in American General Insurance Co. v.
