Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

William Brooks Armstrong, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

March 29, 19951995 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 34

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment, holding that there was no juror misconduct, no prosecutorial misconduct, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a motion for new trial. The majority relied on Jones and other precedent, while two dissenting opinions argued that the undisclosed relationship required reversal.
