Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Delma Banks, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

November 3, 19821982 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1124

Summary

The Court affirmed Delma Banks' capital murder conviction, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support guilt, and that the trial court did not err in denying a change of venue, in juror exclusions, in admitting photographs, hearsay, or in the prosecutor's statements. Justice Clinton dissented, arguing that the majority misapplied Witherspoon and Adams in excusing jurors.
