Description
Jimmy Sol Booker appeals the trial courts findings following DNA testing pursuant to chapter 64 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Appellant brings six points of error contending the trial court erred by: (a) failing to follow the procedures required by chapter 64 (points 1 and 2); (b) not appointing an expert in DNA analysis to assist appellant and to test the evidence separate from the testing performed by the Texas Department of Public Safetys laboratory (point 3); (c) not allowing appellant to testify at the hearing (point 5); and (d) determining the results of the DNA testing were not favorable to appellant (point 6). Appellant also contends he lacked effective assistance of counsel (point 4). We conclude we lack jurisdiction to address appellants first five points of error, and the trial courts unfavorable finding is supported by the record. Accordingly, we affirm the trial courts findings.
