Jesse Villarreal, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction and death sentence, holding that the trial court did not err in refusing various jury instructions, in admitting testimony from a deaf‑mute witness, in admitting evidence obtained by consent, in admitting hearsay business records, in allowing expert testimony on the order of shootings, and in excluding jurors under Witherspoon. The Court also rejected the appellant's claims of prosecutorial misconduct and failure to disclose exculpatory evidence.
