Robert Allan May, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the conviction and death sentence of Robert Allan May, holding that the accomplice testimony was properly corroborated, the indictment was sufficient, the search consent was valid, and the various evidentiary rulings were correct. The majority also rejected the appellant's challenges to jury selection, finding the objections were waived. Two dissenting judges argued that the exclusion of jurors under §12.31(b) violated the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments.
