James Livingston, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

October 6, 19761976 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1075

Summary

The Court affirmed James Livingston's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the indictment was sufficient, the failure to allege ownership of stolen property did not invalidate the indictment, the juror exclusions met the Witherspoon standard, the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction and the second special issue, and the psychiatric testimony was admissible; the dissent argued the evidence was insufficient and urged reversal.
