Description
Appellant Leonardo Casias, III was convicted of murder and sentenced to fifty-five years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. 19.02 (West 1994). On appeal, appellant complains that the trial court erred in (1) allowing the jury to separate during deliberations, (2) failing to declare a mistrial due to the jury separation, and (3) failing to instruct the jury as to corroboration of accomplice witness testimony. In addition, appellant complains that the evidence was insufficient to corroborate the accomplice witness testimony and that he failed to receive a fair trial due to ineffective assistance of counsel. We will affirm.
