Lawrence Lee Buxton, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Lawrence Lee Buxton's capital murder conviction, holding that the circumstantial evidence was sufficient to support both the guilt finding and the deliberateness special issue, that the eyewitness lineup did not violate due process, and that the admission of posed photographs was not reversible error. Justice Teague, concurring in part and dissenting in part, agreed the photograph issue was reviewable but did not find sufficient prejudice to reverse.
