Ronald Curtis Chambers, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Ronald Curtis Chambers' capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the trial court did not err in most jury‑selection rulings, expert testimony admissions, or the denial of a new‑trial motion, and that any isolated errors were harmless. Justice Roberts dissented, arguing that several juror exclusions violated Witherspoon and that the judgment should be reversed.
