Anthony Leroy Pierce, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the capital murder conviction and death sentence. It held that the trial judge did not abuse discretion in excusing jurors for cause, in the timing of peremptory challenges, in excluding expert testimony, and in refusing a mitigating instruction. The appellate court found no reversible error in the trial court's evidentiary rulings or procedural decisions.
