Harold Amos Barnard, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Barnard's capital murder conviction and death sentence, rejecting his arguments that the indictment was defective, the jury charge was erroneous, juror exclusions were improper, the general voir dire was unauthorized, and that various evidentiary rulings constituted reversible error. Justice Teague, in a partial concurrence/dissent, agreed with the majority on the indictment issue but dissented from the remainder of the opinion.
