John Thomas Singletary, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction of appellant as an accomplice to murder, overruling all five grounds of error raised on accomplice witness instruction, accessory instruction, admission of a custodial statement, admission of military commendations at sentencing, and the effect of the principal's acquittal. Justice Douglas, concurring, agreed with the result but disagreed with allowing the appellant's wife to testify about his military awards.
