Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Letcher Thomas Mann, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

October 22, 1986718 S.W.2d 741

Summary

The Court affirmed Fletcher Thomas Mann's capital murder conviction, holding that the trial court properly admitted testimony about the rape and murder of Hoppe, that the prosecutor's arguments at the guilt‑innocence stage were harmless error, and that the exclusion of five venire members under Witherspoon and Adams standards was proper. The dissent argued the jurors were improperly excluded.
