Hammock v. State

Jeremy Lynn Hammock was convicted by a jury for possession of chemicals with intent to manufacture a controlled substance--methamphetamine. The jury assessed punishment at twenty years imprisonment and a $10,000.00 fine. On appeal, Hammock contends the conviction should be reversed because 1) the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the conviction or the deadly weapon finding; 2) the State made final argument outside the record; 3) the State was allowed to introduce evidence of an extraneous offense despite failing to give him pretrial notice; and 4) he received ineffective assistance of counsel.
