Informers Lose Part Of Their Anonymity In Texas Court
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rules informers must be identified if their anonymity is needed for a trial. The decision overturns Wade Cooper James's 50 year sentence in a marijuana sale case and upholds the informer’s pivotal role in the undercover sting. The ruling prompts vigorous dissent by Judge Leon Douglas, who argues it endangers undercover work. The court also overturns a 300 year murder conviction in a separate Denison case due to admissibility concerns and orders new trials in related drug and car theft cases.
