Kent v. State, 50 S.W.2d 817 (Tex. 1932)

At defendant's murder trial, an expert testified that a pair of defendant's shoes almost perfectly matched the print at the crime scene. It was also offered into evidence that defendant was seen by witnesses in the vicinity of the crime, driving a car that fit the description of his uncle's car. An expert also testified that the shotgun shells were the same. Following his conviction, defendant moved for a new trial, alleging that he had discovered witnesses who had seen him in another location at the time of the crime. The court held that the trial court had properly admitted all of the testimony against defendant.
