Kerry Douglas Armstrong, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed Kerry Douglas Armstrong's capital murder conviction and death sentence and remanded for a new trial. The court held that the arrest warrant was supported by probable cause, the confession was voluntary, the evidence satisfied the special issue on future dangerousness, and the victim's wife's rebuttal testimony was inadmissible. Each of these holdings was essential to the reversal.
