Jack Wade Clark, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Jack Wade Clark's conviction and death sentence, overruling the appellant's numerous challenges to jury selection, the administration of the §12.31(b) oath, the prosecutor's questioning of veniremembers, and expert testimony, finding any errors harmless or without prejudice. Justice Clinton, in a concurring opinion, emphasized that the trial court properly exercised discretion in excluding collateral impeachment evidence.
