Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Andrew Lee Mitchell, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
April 27, 19831983 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1007
Summary
The Court affirmed Andrew Lee Mitchell's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the non‑accomplice evidence sufficiently corroborated the testimony of the accomplice witnesses under Article 38.14 and that the trial court's evidentiary rulings and jury instructions were not reversible error. The dissent argued the majority erred in applying Article 38.14 to extraneous evidence at the penalty stage.
