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

Summary

The Court affirmed the capital murder conviction, holding that the evidence was sufficient to find the killings occurred during the same criminal transaction and that the trial court did not err on venue, jury selection, instruction, or prosecutorial argument issues. A dissent argued the majority blurred the statutory distinction between subsections (A) and (B) of the capital murder statute, while a concurrence joined the majority on the eighth point of error.
