Mariano Juarez Rosales, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the trial court's conviction and death sentence, rejecting appellant's seven points of error including the denial of a continuance, claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, Batson-related jury selection issues, mitigation instruction requests, future dangerousness findings, and alleged improper prosecutorial comments. A dissent argued the Batson claim should have been preserved.
