1. The title of the case is RONALD JEFFREY PRIBLE, JR., Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS. I found this case through the Texas Courts of Criminal Appeals. In this case Prible was convicted of capital murder for intentionally and knowingly causing the deaths of Esteban Herrera and Nilda Tirado. The trial court sentenced Prible to death. Direct appeal was automatic, so Prible raised eight points of error. However it was decided that proper evidence was given for each point and each point was overruled. The judgment of the trial court was affirmed. Information stated can be found here: http://www.cca.courts.state.tx.us/opinions/HTMLopinionInfo.asp?OpinionID=12865
