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

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Harold Amos Barnard Jr.'s capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the indictment was proper, the jury instructions correctly required proof of robbery rather than theft, the juror exclusions and voir dire procedures were lawful, and the evidence presented satisfied the statutory requirements for the second special issue. The majority also found that alleged prejudicial evidence and argumentative statements did not constitute reversible error. Judge Teague filed a partial concurrence and dissent, agreeing only with the holding on the indictment.
