Description

Appellant was indicted, convicted and sentenced to death for the abduction and murder of Cindy Renee Rounsaville. Appellant raises ten points of error on appeal. In his first two points, appellant contends that his videotaped confessions were erroneously admitted at trial for their failure to comport with the requirements of art. 38.22 Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. Appellants third and fourth points complain that the trial court erroneously excused for cause two prospective jurors. Fifth, appellant complains of the admission of an out of state pen packet during the punishment phase of trial. In his sixth and seventh points, appellant contends that the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment, and that the prosecutors discretion to seek the death penalty is an unconstitutional invasion upon the legislative branch. Appellants remaining points of error complain that photographs of the deceased admitted at trial were offered solely to inflame the jury. We will affirm.
