David Earl Combs, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas held that the appellant's confession was voluntarily and intelligently waived, that the evidence was sufficient to prove the cause of death, and that the Court has jurisdiction to review sufficiency of the evidence questions. Accordingly, it reversed the Court of Appeals' rulings on the confession and on the insufficiency of the evidence and remanded for further consideration of other alleged errors.
