Ex parte Davis

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

1Opinion of the Court

MORRISON, Presiding Judge.

Appellant is under indictment for murder. Upon his application, bail was refused, pending trial. This appeal is from that order.

In line with the policy of this Court, the facts will not be stated in detail. Suffice it to say that the State relies almost entirely upon the appellant’s confession made 18 months after the death of the deceased. At the hearing on the writ, the testimony raised the issue as to the voluntary nature of the confession.
