Justin Lee May, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction and death sentence of Justin Lee May, holding that the trial court had not erred on any of the appellant's eleven points of error, including the speedy‑trial claim, evidentiary rulings, jury‑selection issues, and the sufficiency of corroboration for the accomplice witness. The court applied established Texas procedural standards and held that the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction. A dissent by Justice Teague (joined by Justice Miller) objected to the majority’s reasoning on the removal of prospective juror Breeden.
