David Wayne McWherter, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the trial judge was not required to hold a competency hearing, that evidence of the appellant's escape and related crimes was admissible, that no limiting instruction was needed for extraneous testimony, that the indictment was sufficient, that the rape‑kit exhibits were admissible, and that the trial court did not err on numerous evidentiary and procedural objections raised on appeal.
