Jamie Lee Coker v. State

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-12-00085-CR JAMIE LEE COKER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 188th District Court Gregg County, Texas Trial Court No. 32982-A Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Jamie Lee Coker appeals from his conviction of intoxication manslaughter and sentence of thirty years’ imprisonment. Coker has filed a single brief, in which he raises issues common to all of his appeals. 1 He argues that (1) the waiver of his right to a jury trial and the stipulations of evidence entered by him were involuntary, (2) the trial court erred in failing to reinstate the right to a jury trial and in allowing the use of his stipulations of evidence, and (3) the trial court erred in admitting “various State’s exhibits” over objections to their admissibility, including hearsay, Confrontation Clause, Fifth Amendment, and Texas Code of Criminal Appeals Article 33.22 objections. We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Coker’s appeal in cause number 06-12-00084-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that error has not been shown in this case. We affirm the trial court’s judgment. Josh R. Morriss, III Chief Justice Date Submitted: June 18, 2013 Date Decided: June 19, 2013 Do Not Publish 1 Coker also appeals a conviction of intoxication manslaughter resulting in a sentence of twenty years’ imprisonment in our cause number 06-12-00084-CR, and three separate convictions for intoxication assault, each resulting in sentences of ten years’ imprisonment, in our cause numbers 06-12-00086-CR, 06-12-00087-CR and 06-12-00088- CR. 2
