John T. Satterwhite, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the death sentence, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the appellant's numerous challenges for cause, that the Batson claim was unsupported, that no additional Penry mitigation instruction was required, that the indictment was proper, and that the photographic identification was admissible. The Court relied on established Texas precedent and U.S. Supreme Court authority to reject all points of error raised by the appellant.
