David Leon Wallace, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment after reforming the death penalty to life imprisonment because the evidence was insufficient to support the jury's affirmative finding on the future violent conduct issue. It also held that there was no error in the law‑of‑parties charge, the self‑defense charge, the denial of a psychiatric evaluation, or the denial of counsel's motion to withdraw. Separate opinions dissent on the self‑defense issue and on affirming the reformed judgment.
