Vernon Eugene McManus, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed McManus's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the evidence proved the murder was for remuneration, the indictment gave sufficient notice, the appellant waived his venue right, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in limiting voir dire, and the accomplice testimony was properly corroborated. Justice Phillips and Justice Clinton each dissented, arguing the indictment was insufficient and the venue issue was mishandled, and would have reversed the judgment.
