Kenneth Dwayne Dunn, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Kenneth Dwayne Dunn's capital murder conviction, holding that the evidence was sufficient to prove intentional killing and deliberateness, that the trial court did not err in appointing standby counsel despite Dunn's objections, and that Dunn was competent to waive counsel and represent himself. Justice Baird, concurring in part and dissenting in part, argued that the trial court should have conducted a hearing on the alleged conflict of interest and therefore should have remanded the case.
