Miguel Angel Flores, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Miguel Angel Flores's conviction for capital murder and the death sentence, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's affirmative answer to the second special issue of future dangerousness and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion on juror challenges, the automobile search, the blood sample, the oral statements, the DNA expert testimony, the alleged improper jury argument, and the mitigating‑evidence instruction. All eight of appellant's points of error were overruled. A dissent argued that the psychiatric testimony was insufficient to support the future‑dangerousness finding and would have remanded for a life sentence.
