Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Juan Soria, Appellant v. State of Texas, Appellee

September 11, 19961996 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 183

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals sustained the State's motion for rehearing, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's affirmative finding on the second special issue of future dangerousness, and affirmed the trial court's death sentence. The opinion also rejected the appellant's Fifth Amendment claim and overruled the prior decision that had reduced the sentence to life imprisonment.
