Andrew Lee Mitchell, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Andrew Lee Mitchell's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the non‑accomplice evidence sufficiently corroborated the testimony of the two accomplice witnesses, that the trial court did not err in its jury instructions, evidentiary rulings, or in finding sufficient evidence for the guilt and penalty phases. Justice Clinton dissented, arguing that the court should have allowed a rehearing on the application of Article 38.14 to extraneous offenses at the penalty stage.
