Clarence Lee Brandley, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the capital murder conviction and death sentence of Clarence Lee Brandley, rejecting all fifteen asserted errors. It held that a retrial after a mistrial was permissible, the circumstantial evidence was sufficient, the juror exclusion complied with Witherspoon, the remark testimony was admissible, and the bill of exceptions taken in chambers did not violate the right to a public trial.
