Summary
The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the appellant's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that Texas's child capital‑murder provision does not violate equal‑protection principles and that the trial court did not err in excusing a juror with a hearing impairment outside the presence of counsel. Justice Meyers filed a concurring opinion agreeing with the majority.
