Cornelius Alan Goss, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Goss's capital murder conviction and death sentence, rejecting his claim that the jury instructions violated Penry and that mitigating evidence required a separate instruction. It also rejected his challenges to the trial judge's definitions of legal terms and found that his error regarding a Rule 705(b) voir dire request was waived. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
