Troy Dale Farris, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Troy Dale Farris's capital murder conviction and death sentence, rejecting all twelve points of error raised on appeal. The majority held that the evidence was sufficient on each issue, including accomplice corroboration, lawful discharge of the officer, deliberateness, future dangerousness, and juror exclusions. A dissent argued that the exclusion of a juror solely for opposing the death penalty was erroneous.
