Sammie Norman English, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Sammie Norman English’s capital murder conviction, holding that his confession was voluntary, the jury charge correctly applied the law of parties under Section 7.02(b), and the trial court properly set aside a clerical order granting a new trial. Justice Clinton dissented, arguing the charge improperly combined Sections 7.02(a)(2) and 7.02(b).
