Martin Allen Draughon, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the capital murder conviction and death sentence of Martin Allen Daughon. The court rejected all of Daughon's asserted errors, holding that the trial judge properly questioned jurors about death‑penalty views, reconsidered a juror after empanelment, admitted evidence of a stocking disguise, allowed the prosecutor to refer to victims as "clients," gave proper jury instructions, and correctly admitted mitigation evidence. The court also rejected Daughon's supplemental arguments concerning mitigation and jury instruction.
