Description:
Dallas, TX - Criminal defense attorney represented Gary Donald Rogers with a Assault charge
Appellant was convicted of assaulting a police officer and the court assessed
punishment, enhanced, at twenty years in prison. In a single issue, appellant argues
the trial court abused its discretion by denying his motion for continuance because
he needed the testimony of an expert who was crucial to his case. In a cross-issue,
the State requests that we modify the judgment to reflect that there was no plea
bargain.
Outcome: Finding no reversible error, we modify the judgment, and as modified,
affirm.
