Preston Allen Quain was involved in a criminal case in Texas. He was convicted for the murder of Danny Joe Rolen. The case details are as follows:

• Date of Incident: December 13, 2007.

• Trial and Conviction: Quain was found guilty by a jury in October 2008 and sentenced to 99 years in prison.

• Appeal: His conviction was upheld by the appellate court, which issued their opinion affirming the trial court's judgment.

The case was notable for the severity of the crime, as Rolen was found with multiple stab wounds and had been hit in the head with a hammer. Quain, who was sixteen at the time of the murder, was tried as an adult.

During the trial, Preston Allen Quain's defense focused on disputing the admissibility of specific evidence and the conduct of the trial proceedings. They argued that the trial court abused its discretion by allowing the testimony of Sergeant Brad Oliver of the Texas Rangers. Quain's defense contended that the State failed to disclose the officer as an expert witness and that his testimony did not qualify as that of a lay witness. The defense also argued that the trial court made an error by not substituting a seated juror with an alternate.

The appellate court assessed these arguments based on a discretionary standard and ultimately upheld the trial court's decision. The defense's arguments indicate their belief that procedural errors may have compromised the trial's fairness. However, the appellate court determined that the trial court's decisions were subject to differing opinions but still upheld Quain's conviction.

Rolen was discovered in his trailer home, lying in a pool of blood, with injuries including blows to the back of his head by a hammer and more than fifteen stab wounds. Sergeant Brad Oliver of the Texas Rangers testified during the trial. Quain's defense disputed the admissibility of this testimony, stating that the officer was not identified as an expert witness and that his testimony did not meet the criteria for a lay witness.

The evidence presented during the trial resulted in Quain's conviction, with the jury imposing a sentence of ninety-nine years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The appellate court later upheld the trial court's decision, stating that there were differing opinions on the evidence and testimony but still supported the conviction.
