Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Mark Milton Moore, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

October 6, 19761976 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1069

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Mark Milton Moore's capital murder conviction and death sentence, finding no reversible error in the jury selection process, the admission of fingerprint and confession evidence, the statutory construction of "in the course of a robbery," or the sufficiency of the special issue testimony at the penalty stage. Justice Roberts dissented, arguing the evidence was insufficient to support the murder‑in‑robbery finding and the psychiatric testimony on future dangerousness.
