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 the conviction and death sentence, holding that the trial court did not err in its voir dire procedures, juror excusals, admission of fingerprint and confession evidence, the statutory construction of "in the course of robbery," or the admission of psychiatric testimony at the penalty stage. A dissent by Judge Roberts argued the evidence was insufficient to support the robbery element and the psychiatric issue.
