Denard Manns, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Denard Manns’s capital murder conviction and death sentence, rejecting all six points of error raised on appeal. The court held that the evidence was factually sufficient to support the conviction and that Broome’s testimony did not violate the Sixth Amendment because he was not a government agent. It also affirmed the admissibility of impeachment evidence, the videotaped statements, and the jury’s finding on future dangerousness.
