John Cockrum, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
September 14, 19881988 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 159
Summary
The Court affirmed the capital murder conviction, holding that the evidence sufficiently corroborated the accomplice's testimony, the trial judge did not abuse discretion in denying a change of venue, the bifurcated voir dire was proper, the motions to excuse three veniremen were correctly denied, and the jury’s affirmative answer to the second special issue was supported by the record.
