Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Herman Robert Charles Clark, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

September 17, 19861986 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 814

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the death sentence, holding that the trial judge correctly exercised discretion in excusing jurors Hall and Scott for cause, did not err in rejecting the challenge to juror Thornton, found the erroneous lesser‑included murder instruction non‑reversible, and rejected the appellant's remaining claims regarding self‑representation, handcuff exposure, indictment filing, and judicial authority.
