Johnny Frank Garrett, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Johnny Frank Garrett’s capital murder conviction, holding that the circumstantial evidence was sufficient, the oral confession was admissible for impeachment despite incomplete Miranda warnings and a request for counsel, the trial charge was not fundamentally defective, no Brady violation occurred, and the exclusion of jurors under Witherspoon was proper. The court overruled all of Garrett’s grounds of error.
