Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Pedro Camacho Lopez, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

November 11, 19641964 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1142

Summary

The Court reversed the murder conviction and remanded for a new trial, holding that Texas must provide a pre‑trial hearing to determine the voluntariness of a confession in accordance with Jackson v. Denno. The opinion also notes a concurrence that concurs in the result but cautions against the Court prescribing new procedural rules.
