David Lugo-Lugo, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the indictment under §19.02(a)(2) was not fundamentally defective because it contained the required culpable mental state, and that the appellant's confession was properly admitted both because the warnings were given and because it was not coerced. The Court also noted a concurrence raising broader questions about the application of culpable mental states.
