Tony Egbuna Ford, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Tony Egbuna Ford's death sentence, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's finding of future dangerousness, that victim impact testimony was admissible and relevant, that the trial court did not abuse discretion in limiting voir dire on parole eligibility, and that the identification and photographic evidence were not subject to suppression. A dissent argued victim impact evidence should be excluded, while concurrences affirmed the majority and noted harmless error on victim impact admission.
