2 Smith v. State
texcrimapp · 1985
green “a vague question about 'what things' the veniremember thought were important in determining whether an individual should receive a death sentence, wholly unrelated to the sentencing scheme, amounts to a fishing expedition going beyond the scope of proper voir dire.” 3
3 Gonzales v. State
texcrimapp · 1999
green “seek particular information from a particular panel member; rather, it presented a general topic for discussion.” 3
