In addition, the only eye-witness who did testify that the defendant committed the crime was shown to be severely lacking in credibility. See Cardenas, 787 S.W.2d at 162-63. Because of the weakness of the State's identification evidence, the admission of inadmissible hearsay identification from a missing witness was held to affect the substantial rights of the defendant.
