Description
June 14, 1995 Appeal from 180th District Court, Harris County OPINION At a trial held in November 1992, a jury found appellant guilty of the capital murder of Eddie Goebel. 1 The jury answered the punishment issues affirmatively, and appellant was sentenced to death. Direct appeal to this Court is automatic under Article 37.071(h). 2 Appellant raises twelve points of error on appeal. We affirm. 1. Sufficiency of the evidence a. Underlying offense Appellant was indicted for committing murder, ""while in the course of committing and attempting to commit the burglary of a habitation"" and ""while in the course of committing and attempting to commit...robbery."" Appellant does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to establish that he was the person who murdered Goebel. Instead, in points of error one and two, he argues that the State failed in its burden to establish the underlying felonies of burglary and robbery alleged in the indictment. A review of the facts is therefore in order.
