Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Harvey Sossamon, A/k/a Mike Foster, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

May 8, 19911991 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 92

Summary

The Court held that the appellant was not entitled to immunity because no enforceable agreement existed with the Liberty County district attorney, that his confession was involuntary under the Fisher test, and that the in‑court identification derived from that confession must be suppressed as the fruit of a Fifth Amendment violation; consequently the Court of Appeals' acquittal was reversed and the case remanded.
