Description
Our original opinion did not discuss the admissibility of that portion of the appellants confession which related to other offenses. It read: "We had mixed this mercury with some other mercury that we had stolen near Eunice, New Mexico. I sold the Eagle Iron & Metal Co. at Eagle, Texas, 417 pounds of mercury that we had stolen (in Lea County, New Mexico and) Andrews County, Texas." This portion of the confession was objected to on the grounds that there was no issue as to identity or system and that the states prima facie case would be established without the inclusion of any part of the confession in which the accused admitted committing extraneous crimes. We have concluded that the trial court fell into error in admitting that portion of the confession.
