Michael F. Rosales, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court affirmed the capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the evidence was sufficient, the jury charge in the disjunctive was proper, the ineffective‑assistance and due‑process claims failed, and the appellant was not harmed by denied juror challenges. Concurring opinions noted that the rule requiring proof of a "unknown" manner and means is unnecessary and that the majority's disavowal of Hicks is dicta.
