Coble v. Texas

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on June 20, 2011.

Docket No.10-1271

Issue

(1) Whether the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals improperly extended Barefoot v. Estelle by reading that case as categorically foreclosing any claim that the admission of unreliable expert testimony in a particular case violates the federal Constitution; and (2) whether the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals undercut Jurek v. Texas by abandoning the consideration of future dangerousness and retroactively replacing it with a dangerous-character test.
