Description
Opinion ON APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW Appellant was convicted by a jury of murder. The jury assessed punishment at ninety-nine years imprisonment. This conviction was affirmed. Lasker v. State, 837 S.W.2d 727 (Tex.Cr.App. 1992). The Court of Appeals held that photographs of the victim of an assault for which appellant was adjudicated delinquent as a juvenile were admissible at the punishment phase pursuant to the amendment of Article 37.07, § 3(a), V.A.C.C.P., which permits the admission of ""any matter the court deems relevant to sentencing."" The Court of Appeals also found that trial counsel was not ineffective at the punishment phase, basing part of the analysis of this issue on a holding that other evidence of unadjudicated extraneous offenses was admissible under this same provision.
