Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

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

January 9, 19801980 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1041

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the capital murder conviction, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying discovery of the tape recording, refusing a continuance, denying a court‑appointed expert, and admitting the tape into evidence, and that the indictment, jury charges, and admission of extraneous evidence were proper. The opinion also notes two dissenting judges who would reverse the judgment.
