Ignacio Cuevas, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Ignacio Cuevas' third capital murder conviction and death sentence. The court rejected his challenges to the exclusion of a juror opposed to the death penalty, the denial of fourteen other challenges for cause, his request for a jury instruction that the law of parties not apply to the first special issue, and his allegation of improper collaboration between the trial judge and prosecutor. The court held that none of these alleged errors warranted reversal and any harmless error did not affect the judgment.
