Irineo Montoya, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the death sentence, holding that the evidence—including appellant's confession—sufficiently proved capital murder under the law of parties, that the confession was voluntary, that the trial court did not err in its evidentiary rulings, jury instructions, juror excusals, or sentencing after a deadlocked jury, and that the inclusion of a conspiracy theory in the charge was proper despite its absence from the indictment.
