where indictment for capital murder alleged May caused the death of another for remuneration but did not specify any more details about the remuneration was sufficient indictment, not requiring additional facts
How later courts described this case
- where indictment for capital murder alleged May caused the death of another for remuneration but did not specify any more details about the remuneration was sufficient indictment, not requiring additional facts
- a pre-Rules case allowing a police officer to give an opinion concerning an accused's mental attitude because it was "merely a shorthand rendition of the facts"
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
ROBERTS, Judge,
dissenting.
I agree with Judge Clinton that the objections made during voir dire were sufficient to have preserved the grounds for review. See generally my dissenting opinion in Crawford v. State, 617 S.W.2d 925, 937 (1980). Venire Member Schlosser was excused on an improper basis. Because of the violation of the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments, the judgment should be reformed to confinement for life. Evans v. State, 614 S.W.2d 414, 418 (1980) (Roberts, J., dissenting), reh. denied April 29, 1981.
