Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

In a conviction of defendant for capital murder, court of appeals' reversal of the conviction on the ground that the state's unauthorized questioning of defendant's cousin before the grand jury caused harmful error is reversed and remanded as it cannot be said that the violation substantially influenced the grand jury's decision to indict defendant, nor is there grave doubt as to whether it had such effect.
