Danny Dean Thomas, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction and death sentence for capital murder, rejecting all ten grounds of error raised by the appellant. It held that no lesser‑included offense instruction was required, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying additional peremptory challenges, and the evidentiary rulings on the weapon, photographs, insanity defense, hearsay objections, arrest warrant, and sentencing were proper.
