Jesse Dewayne Jacobs, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Jesse Dewayne Jacobs' capital murder conviction and death sentence. It held that Jacobs' confession was voluntary, his Miranda waiver was valid, and the trial court did not err in its juror exclusions, denial of mistrial motions, or refusal to disqualify the district attorney. The affirmance was based on the trial court's proper exercise of discretion and the appellant's failure to preserve error.
