Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Anthony Charles Williams, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

October 14, 19811981 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1188

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the capital murder conviction and death sentence, rejecting the appellant's five asserted errors concerning juror excusals, juror qualification, confession instruction, failure to charge mitigating evidence, and admission of extraneous rape offenses. Justice Teague dissented, arguing that the majority improperly excluded jurors Tillman and Oligney and should have reversed and remanded.
