Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Richard Donald Foster, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

June 28, 19891989 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 152

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Richard Donald Foster's capital murder conviction and death sentence. It held that the trial court properly excused a juror for cause, correctly handled the change‑of‑venue motion, and found the evidence sufficient to support the verdict. The opinion also overruled the appellant's other points of error. Justice Clinton dissented, arguing that the extraneous offenses were inadmissible and that the juror analysis was mischaracterized.
