Randle Dewayne Murdock v. State Texas

Opinion ON APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW Appellant was convicted by a jury of illegal investment and sentenced to twenty-five years confinement and a fine of $300,000.00. The Court of Appeals affirmed. Murdock v. State, S.W.2d (Tex. App.--Texarkana, No. 06-91-070-CR, delivered August 4, 1992). During the punishment phase, the trial court admitted evidence concerning extraneous conduct which did not result in final convictions. In Grunsfeld v. State, S.W.2d (Tex.Cr.App. No. 1037-91, delivered October 28, 1992), we held that unadjudicated extraneous offenses were inadmissible at the punishment phase of a trial. However, at the time of its decision, the Court of Appeals did not have the benefit of our opinion in Grunsfeld, therefore, we will remand this case in light of that opinion.
