Reginald Eugene Morris, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the competency jury's verdict that the appellant was competent to stand trial was not against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence and that the trial judge's partial cumulation of the third manslaughter sentence was unlawful and must be deleted, leaving the third sentence to run concurrent with the second. Separate opinions dissent on the competency analysis and on the appropriate remedy for the stacking error.
