John Henry Quinones, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the capital murder conviction, holding that the trial court did not err in refusing discovery of the tape recording, denying a continuance, refusing appointment of an independent expert, and admitting the tape into evidence; the dissenting judges argued that the concealment of the tape violated the defendant's right to effective assistance of counsel and constituted prosecutorial misconduct.
