Kerry Max Cook, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Kerry Max Cook's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the burglary‑with‑aggravated‑assault count, that the trial court did not err in admitting the inmate's statements, and that any constitutional errors regarding future‑dangerousness testimony were harmless. Justice Clinton dissented, arguing the identification and fingerprint evidence were unreliable.
