Selwynn Barry Gholson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee; Larry Joe Ross, Appellant, v. the State of Texas…

Summary

The Court affirmed the death‑penalty convictions, rejecting the appellants' constitutional challenges to Texas Art. 37.071 and finding the trial court's evidentiary rulings—including admission of a notebook, psychiatric testimony, and reputation witnesses—proper. The Court also held that the prosecutor's remarks and the charge of capital murder did not require reversal, deeming any error harmless.
