Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Raymond Deleon Martinez, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

September 21, 19881988 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 168

Summary

The Court held that the trial court erred by refusing to sustain the appellant's challenges for cause against two veniremen who could not distinguish between "intentional" and "deliberate" killings, finding such bias required excusal; consequently the judgment was reversed and remanded for a new trial.
