                        MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT
                        THE REPORTER’S RECORD


   _______________________________________________________

            COMES NOW KENNETH THOMAS, by and through his

appointed attorney on appeal, John Tatum, and respectfully submits this Motion to
Supplement the Reporter’s Record in the above entitled and numbered cause. In

support of this Motion, Appellant would show this Honorable Court the following:

                                         I.

             The Defendant, Kenneth Thomas, pleaded not guilty to the charge of

Capital Murder before the Honorable Ernest B. White, Judge Presiding of the

194th Judicial District Court of Dallas County and a jury. The jury found the

Defendant guilty and punishment was assessed at death by lethal injection.

                                         II.

             The Reporter’s Record has been filed in this cause.

                                        III.

             Appellant has raised issues of prejudice in the admission into

evidence of autopsy photographs introduced at trial, State’s Exhibits Nos. 58-83.

The original color photographs were placed into evidence before the jury and are

necessary to aid this Court in resolving the issues raised on appeal to the Court of

Criminal Appeals.
            WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that

this Court will grant his Motion to Supplement the Reporter’s Record in this

Cause.
