Daryl Keith Wheatfall, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Daryl Keith Wheatfall's capital murder conviction and death sentence, overruling all fourteen points of error raised on appeal. The majority held that the jury instructions, special issues, voir dire rulings, evidentiary admissions, and peremptory challenges did not constitute reversible error. A concurring opinion agreed with the disposition of the seventh point but disagreed with the majority's view that the trial judge could refuse a juror's request to define "deliberately".
