Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Cedric Lamont Ransom, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

April 24, 1996920 S.W.2d 288

Summary

The Court held that the trial court erred in granting the State’s challenge for cause against juror Harold Freeman because the error was not limited to the punishment phase; it affected the composition of the jury for both guilt and punishment. Accordingly, the conviction was reversed and the case remanded for a new trial.
