Jeffery Allen Barney, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Jeffery Allen Barney's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the jury's finding of future dangerousness was supported by the evidence, that Barney's confession was voluntary, and that the trial court did not err in its handling of juror issues, evidentiary rulings, and procedural motions. Justice Teague dissented, arguing that the majority erred on the future dangerousness finding, the juror disability ruling, and the denial of a continuance.
