Description

John Nathan Nichols was convicted in a jury trial of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. In five points of error, it is contended that the trial court erred by: (1) failing to enter a written order that stated the conclusion as to the voluntariness of Nichols written statements and failing to make specific findings of fact upon which the conclusion was based; (2) admitting certain hearsay statements; (3) admitting photographs from the autopsy of the deceased into evidence; (4) allowing the prosecutor to inject new facts, harmful to Nichols, in final argument; and (5) allowing jury argument by the prosecutor that was contrary to the law submitted in the courts charge. We sustain the first point, reverse the trial courts judgment, and remand the cause.
