Description

We granted the petition for discretionary review that was filed on behalf of Russell Kent Dickinson, appellant, in order to make the determination whether the Dallas Court of Appeals correctly rejected appellants contention that the prosecuting attorneys jury argument, that was made at the punishment stage of the trial, that appellant had failed to express in the courtroom "remorse," "shame," or "pity" towards or for his victim was an impermissible comment on the appellants failure to testify. See Dickinson v. State, 667 S.W.2d 576 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1984). Because we find that the court of appeals erroneously decided appellants contention, we will reverse its judgment.
