Clifford X. Phillips Aka Abdullah Bashir, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the capital murder conviction, rejecting the appellant's nineteen alleged errors. It held that the trial court did not err in denying a change of venue, in its rulings on multiple juror challenges, in admitting the confession, and in other procedural matters. The Court also affirmed the constitutionality of the death‑penalty statute and the waiver‑of‑jury‑trial provision.
