Description

Appellant pled guilty to the offense of robbery and elected to proceed to trial before the jury on punishment. Punishment was assessed at fifteen years' imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. The Court of Appeals reversed the portion of the judgment assessing punishment and remanded the case to the trial court for another punishment hearing. Sunbury v. State, 33 S.W.3d 436 (Tex. App.- Houston [1st Dist.] 2000). We granted the State Prosecuting Attorney's petition for discretionary review to determine whether it is "an abuse of discretion for a trial court to exclude from the jury at punishment the sentences recently assessed by two other juries for similar offenses by the same defendant." We will affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
