Hudson v. Texas (original by judge hervey)
Annotate this CaseA jury convicted Appellant of capital murder and sentenced her to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Her conviction was affirmed by the Court of Appeals. The Court of Criminal Appeals granted review to examine the court of appeals’ holding that Appellant was not entitled to a lesser-included instruction on manslaughter and, if necessary, to reconsider the Court's jurisprudence on lesser-included offenses. However, because the Court of Criminal Appeals agreed with the court of appeals that Appellant was not entitled to the lesser-included instruction, it affirmed its judgment.
