John C. Eckert, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction for criminal conspiracy to commit murder, holding that the accomplice's testimony was sufficiently corroborated, the jury charge was proper, the denial of a change of venue was not an abuse of discretion, and the jury did not receive other evidence or coercive instructions that would require a new trial. Judge Clinton filed a concurring opinion emphasizing the statutory elements of conspiracy.
