Todd v. Stategreen2 sentences1984This *17 does not comply with any of the Todd, supra, rules and the Court of Criminal Appeals is of the opinion that the prejudicial effect of such a statement is compounded by the misunderstanding of the public concerning the duty of an advocate: It is widely recognized that the canons of ethics are not generally understood by the public from which the members of the jury panel are drawn. 1984In Todd v. State, 598 S.W.2d 286, 296, 297 (Tex.Cr.App.1980), it was stated: “It is settled that the approved general areas of jury argument, within which all proper arguments must fall are (1) summation of the evidence; (2) reasonable deduction from the evidence; (3) answer to argument of opposing counsel; and (4) plea for law enforcement. | 1 | 2 |

Lewis v. State
green
2 sentences1984The statement “so long as lawyers are for hire, justice is for sale” is not as direct an attack upon defense counsel for accepting employment to represent a person accused of crime as the arguments made in Bray and Lewis, supra; however, the import of such a statement is identical when viewed in light of the Court’s reasoning in Boyde, supra.
