Raymond Deleon Martinez, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Raymond DeLeon Martinez's capital murder conviction and death sentence, overruling his claims that the trial court erred on issues of insanity burden, individual voir dire, venire composition, the definition of "deliberately," arraignment procedure, psychiatric testimony, expert witness observation, and denial of a continuance. The Court held that the trial court acted within its discretion and that Martinez failed to preserve certain defenses. Justice Clinton dissented on point 21, and Justice Maloney concurred only on the voir dire issue.
