Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Rasmussen, Wichita, for Appellant.

Barry L. Macha, Crim. Dist. Atty., John W. Brasher, Maureen O'Brien, Asst. Crim. Dist. Attys., Wichita Falls, for Appellee.

Panel A: CAYCE, C.J.; DAUPHINOT, J.; and WILLIAM BRIGHAM, J. (Retired, Sitting By Assignment).


OPINION

WILLIAM BRIGHAM, Justice (Retired).

On a plea of not guilty, a jury found Appellant Corbett Hall, Jr. guilty of aggravated sexual assault and sentenced him to life imprisonment. Appellant brings three points, complaining of improper closing argument and two evidentiary rulings. Because the prosecutor improperly alluded to Appellant's failure to testify, we reverse and remand this cause for a new hearing on punishment.
