Description
Appellant was convicted of the offense of murder and his punishment fixed by the jury at confinement in the state penitentiary for life. On appeal, appellants case was affirmed by this Court, Tex.Cr.App., 366 S.W.2d 587. A petition for certiorari was filed with the Supreme Court of the United States on several grounds, including alleged constitutional deprivation of due process because of coercion in the method of obtaining appellants confession. An alleged constitutional violation for failure to take the appellant before a magistrate at the time of his arrest was also charged. The Supreme Court of the United States granted certiorari in this cause and vacated the decision of this Court, on June 22, 1964, by a per curiam opinion, remanded the case to this Court for "further proceedings not inconsistent with the opinion of this Court in [No. 62] Jackson v. Denno [378 U.S. 368], 84 S. Ct. 1774 [12 L. Ed. 2d 908]." This action was taken in a memorandum decision which appears at 378 U.S. 567, 84 S. Ct.1924, 12 L. Ed. 2d 1038.
