JOINER v. THE STATE.
S91A0762.
WELTNER, Justice.
Murder, etc. Houston Superior Court. Before Judge Nunn.
Hubert Joiner shot and killed his wife, Kimberly, with a handgun. He was convicted by a jury of murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and was sentenced to life imprisonment and a term of years. 1
We have reviewed all of the claims of error. We hold that the evidence is sufficient under Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979); that there was no constitutional deprivation; and that there was no error in the trial court that warrants reversal, or a new trial.
Notes
1  The homicide occurred on June 18, 1990. Joiner was indicted on July 12, 1990. He was found guilty on September 21, 1990, and was sentenced the same date.
