Court of Appeals of Texas, Austin.

Rehearing Overruled October 11, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Elaine L. Fannin, Austin, for Appellant.

C. Bryan Case, Jr., Asst. Dist. Atty., Austin, for Appellee.

Before Justices KIDD, PURYEAR and DALLY.


KIDD, Justice.

Appellant David Andrew Mendez was convicted of capital murder. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 19.03(a)(7)(A) (West 1994). Because the State did not seek the death penalty, appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment. Appellant asserts that he was denied his constitutional right to be confronted with the witnesses against him and that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction. We will reverse and remand.
