Mary Walker, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

April 2, 19691969 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1058

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Walker's murder conviction, holding that the evidence was sufficient to establish both cause of death and intent to kill, and that none of the appellant's asserted procedural errors—including claims about the suspended sentence statute, jury instructions, probation instructions, alleged jury misconduct, witness impeachment, and evidentiary exclusions—constituted reversible error.
