                                  MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
                                                                                    BY
        COMES NOW KEITH WILLIAM BENNETT, Defendant, by and throug·~--,.,,.......'--
attorney for appeal, and files this Motion for New Trial in this case.

                                              I.
        Defendant would show the Court that there has been material error committed that is
calculated to injure the rights of Defendant.

                                                 II.
        Defendant would show the Court that both the guilt/innocence verdict and the punishment
verdict are contrary to the law and the evidence in the case.

                                                  III.
        Defendant would show the Court that the sentence is so disproportionate as to constitute cruel
and unusual punishment in violation of the Texas and U.S. Constitutions. The trial court exhibited
bias in failing to consider the entire range of punishment.

                                             PRAYER

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant prays that this Motion for New Trial
be set for hearing, and, upon hearing, that the Court grant him a new trial.
