Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

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

September 24, 19861986 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 829

Summary

The Court reversed the conviction because the trial judge erred by refusing to allow a peremptory challenge to replace a juror who disclosed a relationship with the complainant after being sworn. The Court affirmed that the confession evidence was properly admitted and that the error was limited to the juror issue.
