Description
A jury found Noah Daniel Montemayor guilty of murdering more than one person in the same criminal transaction and convicted him of capital murder. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 19.03(a)(7)(A) (West 1994). The jury found that there were sufficient mitigating circumstances to warrant punishment of life imprisonment rather than death. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 37.071, § 2(e)(i) (West Supp. 2001). The trial court sentenced appellant to life imprisonment. See id. § 2(g). On appeal, appellant asserts that the evidence is insufficient to support the jury's verdict, and that the trial court erred in admitting unlawfully obtained evidence, in receiving a coerced verdict, and in removing appointed trial counsel. We will affirm the judgment.
