Karla Faye Tucker, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Karla Faye Tucker's capital murder conviction and death sentence, rejecting all nine points of error raised on appeal. The court held that the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's findings on the special issues, that the trial court properly admitted hearsay and taped statements, and that the jury instructions on intoxication and the definition of "deliberately" were not erroneous.
