Harris v. State

A jury found appellant, Clara Harris, guilty of murder, found in one special issue that appellant caused the death under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause, and assessed punishment at confinement for 20 years and a $10,000 fine. In seven points of error, appellant challenges the trial courts rulings excluding two videotapes from evidence, disallowing the impeachment of a witness, refusing to give an instruction on reckless driving, and denying appellants request to make the opening and closing arguments at the punishment phase of the trial. We affirm.
