McHenry Evans, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the murder conviction, holding that the trial court did not err in admitting the child's spontaneous statements, the security officer's testimony under the res gestae exception, the appellant's statements made prior to custodial interrogation, the expert testimony regarding the autopsy report, and the evidence presented at the punishment hearing. The Court reasoned that each admission fell within established hearsay exceptions or procedural rules and that the appellant failed to preserve proper objections.
