Appellant contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion for a mistrial after the bailiffs handcuffed appellant in front of the jury as the guilty verdicts were being read. Appellant asserts that this conduct was prejudicial because the jury had yet to determine the penalty and the handcuffing created the impression that appellant was dangerous and needed to be restrained. Appellant claims deprivation of his right to a fair and impartial jury, a fair and impartial trial, and equal protection under the law.
