Harvey Joseph Duffy, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the capital murder conviction and death sentence, overruling all eight of appellant's asserted errors. It held that the jury was properly impaneled and sworn, that media filming did not create a reversible prejudice, that Article 37.071 does not shift the burden of proof, that the special issues were not vague, that no reversible error occurred from sidebar remarks or prosecutor arguments, and that the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's findings on all special issues.
