Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Daniel Ryan Garrett, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

January 13, 19931993 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 8

Summary

The Court affirmed the capital murder conviction, finding the evidence sufficient to support a finding that the murder was committed in the course of robbery, and reversed the trial court's exclusion of a venireman, holding that a juror is not challengeable for cause merely because he would require more evidence than the legal minimum to answer the second special issue affirmatively. Justice Campbell and Judge McCORMICK dissented, arguing that the majority improperly overruled Marras and other precedents.
