Victor Hugo Saldano, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the trial court’s judgment in Victor Hugo Saldano’s capital‑punishment case, rejecting all of his 66 alleged errors. The court held that the trial court did not err in conditioning psychiatric testimony on a Lagrone examination, that the future‑dangerousness special issue was not vague, that the jury‑selection rulings were not an abuse of discretion, that the evidence supported the jury’s finding of future dangerousness, and that the jury instructions and evidentiary rulings did not violate constitutional rights.
