Daniel Lee Corwin, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the appellant's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the Texas statute defining multiple murders as a single scheme was not unconstitutionally vague, the appellant's confessions were voluntary, the evidentiary admissions at the punishment phase were proper, and the prosecutor's remarks did not warrant a mistrial. Justice Baird, in a concurring opinion, argued the drawing should have been excluded as unreliable Eighth Amendment evidence.
