Billie Wayne Coble, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Billie Wayne Coble's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the evidence was sufficient to find the three murders occurred during the same criminal transaction and that the trial court did not err on venue, juror challenges, jury instructions, or prosecutorial argument. A dissent argued the majority blurred statutory distinctions, while a concurrence joined the majority on the eighth point of error.
