Houghton v. State

Summary

The court did not reach the merits of Houghton's claim that the prosecutor violated her Fifth Amendment rights by commenting on her decision not to testify. It held that her abstract was deficient because she included the relevant transcript in the addendum but failed to abstract it, and it ordered her to file a substituted brief curing the deficiency. The State was permitted to file a responsive brief or rely on its existing brief.
