How later courts described this case

  • incriminating statement as was the result of custodial interrogation despite more than 15 minutes since the time of the question and since the suspect’s last statement
  • when court erroneously admits evidence, but objecting party introduces same evidence through some other means, error is rendered harmless

Written by the judges who cited it.

The opinion

TEAGUE, J.,

concurs in the reversal but because he finds the legally admissible evidence is insufficient to sustain the jury’s affirmative answer to special number 2, he would order that upon retrial the maximum possible punishment that may be assessed is life imprisonment.

WHITE, J., concurs in the result.

W.C. DAVIS, J., dissents.

CLINTON, J., not participating.
