Aubrey Langston McCarty, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction for passing a forged instrument, holding that the appellant was not denied a speedy trial, that the habitual criminal statute did not violate equal protection, that the refusal to order a psychiatric examination was proper, and that evidence of other forged checks was admissible. Justice ONION dissented, arguing the speedy trial right was violated.
