Robert James Anderson, Appellant v. State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the death sentence, rejecting appellant's constitutional challenges to the pre‑trial identification, evidence collection, parole‑related jury instructions, the Penry issue, due‑process proportionality review, and the constitutionality of the death penalty. Justice Overstreet dissented on the parole‑instruction issue, and Justice Baird concurred in part while dissenting on point six.
