Description
Following the revocation of Rico Jackson's deferred adjudication community supervision, he was adJudged guilty of delivery of a controlled substance (cocaine) and sentenced to imprisonment for twenty-five years. On appeal, he contends that his sentence violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article I, § 13 of the Texas Constitution because it is grossly disproportionate to the crime and inappropriate to the offender. He also contends that Tex. R. App. P. 34.6(f) mandates reversal because a State's exhibit has been lost or destroyed. We overrule his contentions and affirm the judgment.
