Johnny Joe Martinez, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Johnny Joe Martinez's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the jury's affirmative answer to the future dangerousness special issue was supported by the evidence and that the trial court correctly refused the appellant's other procedural requests. Separate opinions by Judges Baird and Maloney dissent from the majority's future‑dangerousness finding and would substitute life imprisonment for the death penalty.
