Opinion















IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS




NO. PD-1214-11


JASON THAD PAYNE, Appellant


v.



THE STATE OF TEXAS




ON APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

FROM THE TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS

WOOD COUNTY


Meyers, J., filed a dissenting opinion.



DISSENTING OPINION



The majority reverses after concluding that the court of appeals erred in determining that the admission of several erroneously admitted victim statements was harmless. I disagree with this conclusion. After examining the court of appeals opinion, I agree that the admission of the statements was harmless error, and feel that the analysis conducted by the court of appeals is more accurate than the analysis conducted by the majority. There is no way a rational trier of fact would have reached a different result had the error not occurred. (1)

With these comments, I respectfully dissent.

Meyers, J.
