Michael Goodman, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Michael Goodman’s capital murder conviction and death sentence, rejecting all fourteen alleged errors. The court held that the trial court’s juror exclusions, competency‑hearing evidence admissions, and the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the special issues were not reversible errors. The court also rejected the Eighth Amendment challenge and the admission of juvenile adjudication evidence.
