How later courts described this case
- holding that prosecutor’s improper remark calling defendant “a sociopath” was isolated and any error in denying mistrial was cured by prompt instruction to disregard
- concluding that a challenge to jury note-taking was not preserved for review where no objection was made
- noting that this Court has “previously addressed and rejected constitutional challenges” to this statutory language “on numerous occasions”
- "Instead, jurors must individually determine what evidence, if any, mitigates against the imposition of the death penalty, and what weight, if any, to give that evidence in its consideration.”

The opinion
BAIRD, J.,
concurs. For the reasons stated in Morris v. State, 940 S.W.2d 610 , — (Tex.Cr.App.1996) (Baird, J., dissenting), I disagree with the treatment of appellant’s point of error twelve. Consequently, I join only the judgment of the Court.
