Stephen Peter Morin v. State Texas

The Court continues to compound the error of the decision in Russell v. State, 665 S.W.2d 771 (Tex.Cr.App. 1983) by again refusing to reconsider the continued viability of King v. State, 553 S.W.2d 105 (Tex.Cr.App. 1977) which held was need not provide instructional guidance to capital juries on the meaning and import of "deliberately" as employed in the first special punishment issue.
