Ramon Pedro Hernandez, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the appellant's capital murder conviction and death sentence, finding no abuse of discretion in denying a continuance, refusing to attach absent veniremen, allowing an incompetent witness to testify, permitting leading questions, refusing to submit the third punishment issue, and in the multiple jury‑selection exclusions. Two dissenting opinions argued that the exclusion of juror Bradley was improper and that the majority failed to articulate the limits of trial‑court discretion.
