Mary Elizabeth Boles, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the murder conviction, holding that the indictment was sufficient despite not labeling the victim as an “individual,” that the trial court was not required to charge the lesser offense of criminally negligent homicide, that counsel’s performance was not ineffective, that the State’s handling of the ballistics report did not constitute a Brady violation, and that the prosecutor’s comments about the defendant’s husband were not reversible error.
