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. Justice Clinton, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the result but argued for a different analytical framework for culpable mental states.
