Description
Markeas Fitzgerald Shavers appeals his convictions for murder. After finding him guilty, the jury assessed his punishment at life imprisonment and a $10,000 fine for the murder of Christopher Jackson and at forty-seven years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine for the murder of Juanita Jackson. On appeal, appellant brings eight points of error generally contending: (a) the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions; (b) the indictment cannot support both convictions; and that the trial court erred in (c) admitting certain evidence; (d) overruling appellants motion for continuance; and (e) overruling appellants Batson motion. Appellant also contends that error occurred when a witness revealed that appellant had failed a polygraph test. We sustain appellants third point of error that the indictment cannot support both convictions. We vacate appellants conviction for the murder of Juanita Jackson; we affirm appellants conviction for the murder of Christopher Jackson.
