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.
